HOTLB: Samo students in unanimous support of Texas Rangers
The Arizona Diamondbacks and the Texas Rangers went head to head at the World Series from October 27 and November 4. Both teams were second in their division and managed to get to the World Series by clinching the wild card. Ultimately, the Rangers came out on top 4-1, winning their first ever World Series. From disgruntled Dodgers fans to supporters of transferred players, it seems like Samo students rooted for the Rangers across the board.
