The Rangers are based in Arlington, Texas. The franchise is currently a member of the Western Division of American League. The team's name is borrowed from the famous law enforcement agency of the same name. The franchise was established in 1961 as the Washington Senators, an expansion team awarded to Washington, D.C., after the city's first ballclub, the original Washington Senators, moved to Minnesota and became the Twins. After the 1971 season, the new Senators moved to Arlington, Texas, and debuted as the Rangers the following spring. The Rangers have won five Division titles, two American League pennants and they lost World Series in 2010 and 2011.
