Bush has an obvious history with the Rangers as he was a former owner of the baseball club who had stake from 1989 to 1994. He was present for the team's other two World Series appearances in 2010 and 2011.

The Rangers were one of six teams who have never won the World Series, but that has changed as the team was led by manager Bruce Bochy. They handled Arizona in five games as in the final matchup, the Rangers beat the Diamondbacks 5-0 where they dominated in their pitching and their offense was in sync as Marcus Semien hit a home run. Other players like Corey Seager, Mitch Garver, and others contributed to the historic victory.
