As last night’s World Series win over the Arizona Diamondbacks sank in this morning, Jenna Bush Hager took to social media to reflect on a lifetime of cheering for the Texas Rangers.
The Today co-host shared a series of photos (below) of her family supporting their home team over the years on Thursday. Bush Hager’s tribute begins with a vintage snap taken in front of the since-demolished Arlington Stadium and ends with photos of her own children continuing the tradition at Choctaw Stadium.
“Let’s GO Rangers! This little girl in the old-old stadium IS cheering LOUD for her favorite team ever,” Bush Hager wrote in reference to the photo of her and twin sister Barbara with their father, President George W. Bush, from the ‘80s.
Bush Hager reflected on her family’s devotion to the Rangers during a March 2023 episode of Today with Hoda & Jenna.
She explained to Hoda Kotb that since her father is a former managing general partner of the Texas Rangers, she grew up going to countless baseball games with her parents.
"We went to 73 games a year," Bush Hager recalled. "It was so much part of my DNA that it's weird to even think about it. My parents took us—every time they went, like, we didn't have babysitters. We just went along."
The Rangers became World Series champions for the first time in the franchise’s 63-season history Wednesday night, defeating the Diamondbacks 5-0 to secure the title in Game 5.
The "proud" former president congratulated the team in a statement Wednesday, calling the historic victory “baseball at its finest.”
Congratulations to the Texas Rangers!
