After clinching the AL West outright thanks to a masterful Cole Hamels complete game on Sunday afternoon, the Texas Rangers let it all out in the clubhouse.
It's been a long journey for Jeff Banister's club this season, which had to make do without ace Yu Darvish and dealt with key injuries to other stars along the way.
