Texas Rangers (2023 World Series Champs)

Texas Rangers unveil 2023 World Series rings with unique reversible top, reference to perfect road record

The defending champs received some flashy jewelry on Saturday​

In keeping with the ancient laws of combat, the squadron that wins the World Series is rewarded with not only an implied heavyweight-championship title belt but also an actual World Series ring. Speaking of which, on Saturday the Texas Rangers, victors of the 2023 World Series, received their shimmering finger-crowns.

Right up front, here's a slickly produced look:

Here are some other things about the ring.

103: Blue sapphires on the top of the ring, which make up the background for the logo, signify the total number of wins for the Rangers in 2023. They won 90 in the regular season and another 13 in the postseason.

23: Red rubies that outline the “T” logo signify 2023, the first year the Rangers won the World Series.

11: Diamonds inside the logo on the main facing of the ring honor the 11 consecutive road postseason wins. When the top of the ring is opened, the slogan “Road Dominance,” appears against an outline of the US. It features all the stops the Rangers made from the last week of the regular season (Anaheim and Seattle) through the playoffs. The word “Road” is spelled using the font and first letter from each opponent’s nickname the Rangers beat in the postseason.

52: On the face “CHAMPIONS” is spelled out using 52 diamond points to signify the team’s first title in 52 yeas since coming to Texas.


49: The Rangers may no longer wear their red alternate tops, but the ring features one, with 49 points of rubies to form the “T” logo. They represent the 49 players who appeared on the roster. The logo on the ring is reversible and can be changed with a swivel

90: Diamonds circling the ring commemorate the 90 regular-season wins the Rangers accumulated in 2023.

1: Inside an etching of the Commissioner’s Trophy, which goes to the World Series winner, is a single diamond, also a nod to the team’s first win. The stone is 3 mm in size, to call out the three total trips to the World Series.

72: Points of diamonds on the border of the bezel represent the Rangers’ first year in Arlington, 1972.

30: Diamonds on the inner bezel represent the 30 homers the Rangers hit during the postseason, while 16 emerald cut diamonds recognize the consecutive number of postseason games in which the Rangers homered.

3: Diamonds on the side with the player’s name, which represent GM Chris Young’s three pillars of baseball: “Compete with passion, be a good teammate, dominate the fundamentals.”
