Love Eric Nadel and wish him the best. This year has been the epitome of “it was the worst of times, it was the best of times.” for him. I hope he continues to be the voice of the Rangers. We love him here in North Texas.
I know I’m not the first person on here to comment on it, but Eric’s comment on, “Maybe the ghosts of 2011 be forever erased,” gets me choked up every single time. Seriously. If you know, you know how painful that night was. It’s been a very long 12 years… But we finally did it! The pain of the past is gone, the demons of 2011 are gone, the Rangers have finally done it! A few months later and there still times where it hasn’t fully sunk in. I am so proud of them. 💙💙💙
My brother I was watching on tv and was jumping up and down. The radio call was on an app so it was delayed so I was able to listen Nadel’s call right after they won. I still get choked up to this day.
I turned down Smoltz and started listening to Nadel. According to Smoltz No matter what the Rangers did the opposing team always did something a little bit better…
Been going to Rangers' games and following them since they moved to Arlington in 1972. The ghosts go way back before 2011. This franchise had been the laughingstock of the Metroplex for so long. Not any more. This 62 year old never thought he'd see a WS championship in his lifetime. This is truly special.
I had to mute the tv so I could hear Eric call that game. The only way it could have been better was if Mark Holtz could have been in the booth with him.
Whenever I start feeling down about how the Cowboys never seem to perform well in the post-season, I always turn to this video that never fails to bring a smile to my face!
Thank you very much for this post, I wanted to hear Eric Nadel say what he said especially about 2011, he is finally free, and so are all the fans of the Rangers!!!
I can’t believe Nadel kept his cool like the professional he is through those final outs. I’m so happy for him that he got to see it because he’s in his 70s and been with the team for a very long time through good and bad and this was something we had all been waiting to hear for a very long time. I know I didn’t keep my composure during the games, I watched alone in my bedroom because I didn’t want to be too loud in the living room or someone else’s house & partly because of baseball superstition. The Rangers won when I watched in there with my dog Romo so I just kept doing it. When the 2nd out came the torture of 2011 started creeping in my mind so it was a huge relief to see that final strike. I remember the Super Bowls in the 90s and how wonderful it was & I am a Cowboys fan first and I remember how awesome it was watching the Mavs finally get the title in 2011 but this felt different from all of those I don’t know why but I still can’t believe the Rangers are WORLD CHAMPIONS!
I've been a rangers fan all my life. I've always said, just give me ONE world series win and I won't care if we ever get another as long as I live I JUST WANTED ONE. Not only did my dream come true, but it's how we did it. We swept the Rays, we swept a dominant looking orioles. But I always feared the Astros bk they always had our number and they beat the hell out of us during the season. We were close to losing to them after that altuve honerun in game 5. But we dug deep in our soul and got hot in game 6 and 7 and won a ticket the world series. I wanted to be so happy that we won the battle of Texas against last years champions, but 2010 and 2011 was always there in the back of my head reminding me that we were so close and we are jinxed with a curse. When we got that final strike to win the world series against the dbacks, all those years of heartbreak and other fans giving us shit went down the toilet. That was a post season Ill never forget. Even if we don't win another world series, I don't care. I'll always remember this in my heart. I love my Texas Rangers. This was for you dad
My dad was a HUGE Rangers fan. He passed in '09 & they go to the WS the very next year. I was so happy. I watched this on TV & when they got that last strike I cried like a baby. Watching this again 2 weeks later with Eric's call, just made me boo hoo again. I know my dad was up stairs going nuts that night.
Rangers truly had a magical year. 11-0 postseason on the road wins? That is crazy good. Probably won’t be seen again for a long time if ever. Congratulations to Texas Rangers, World Champions of Baseball! 🇨🇱⚾️👍
I've been watching this video daily or multiple times daily replaying all the key moments. I still can't believe it happened. To watch the dam break in the 9th and get multiple complex emotions is as good as baseball gets. I'll watch baseball for the rest of my life but it won't get any better than the 9th inning of Game 5 in the 2023 World Series.
I think I have more tears with this call than I did watching live on TV. Even Matt Hicks was breaking up during his comments. Sometimes I still can't believe it.
30+ years calling Rangers radio and the journey he had this year taking time off and coming back has been tough, but amazing. Eric Nadel. Rangers legend!!
I listened to the entire playoffs (minus game seven vs Houston) and it was beautiful. They kept winning while I was listening and deliviering doordash so I just kept scheduling and wearing my blue. Cant wait to listen again and again and again
I was born a Chicago Cubs fan 61 years ago and I still am. But I live in Dallas and have followed the Rangers very closely since 1986. I’m so happy for the Rangers, the fans, and all of DFW.
It’s funny you mention this. I moved to DFW in 1987 from a state that didn’t have pro baseball, so I started following the Rangers. I used to go to games at the old Arlington Stadium when the bleacher seats were just $5. There was nothing like a Saturday night in the cheap seats with cold beer and Nolan on the mound. The 2011-2012 World Series results were heartbreaking, but when the Cubs won in 2016 I think it gave every long-suffering Rangers fan some hope. To this day, I still watch videos of Cubs fans freaking out in their homes and celebrating that Game 7 in Cleveland. I especially love the videos where you can hear the entire crowd sing “Go Cubs Go” at the end of the game 5 Fox broadcast at Wrigley Field. If you can’t get pumped up after watching that then you’re not a sports fan.
Big thanks to Eric Nadel. The voice I heard from the radio I kept under my pillow as a child. Or from the cab of the truck in my teens and twenties while my buddies and I sat on the tailgate drinking our Big Gulps and spitting sunflower seeds. Such great memories.
I listened to the Rangers on the radio since I was 9, and watched them on TV also; all of that during a very rough childhood when the only good thing going was following my Rangers. Since then I have been to about 30 games in my lifetime. I've seen so many wonderful moments over 50 years as a Rangers fan, but not one of them was a World Series championship until November 1st in the Arizona desert. Finally...a championship. One month later, I'm still crying for joy as a 59 year old man...and I don't care what anyone thinks. Chicago Cubs fans, we now know how you felt in 2016 when you finally won your championship after 108 years. We get it, and we understand it.
I have probably watched 100 different videos and highlights like this already. Think I’ll just keep doing that til next season starts. Thank you Rangers I love every single one of you
I will NEVER get tired of listening to this. My family made me a fan when I was 7 years old. Went to games and watched games all the time with my great grandfather and my grandpa and brother. All 3 were big fans and didn't get to live to see them win this. I cried tears of joy to get to witness this and couldn't wait to go to the ballpark and just look up with my new World Series Champs gear and say "look, we did it".
I live in Houston (unfortunately) so I not only stream the game but stream the radio broadcast. So I had to pause live TV to sync up with Eric’s broadcast. It’s funny to think that I broke out and celebrated like a crazy person about 2-3 minutes after it happened live. But I love listening to Eric Nadel… what a fucking legend and who better to have calling the World Series.
I'm south of Houston, with no TV, so I got to listen to the Rangers broadcast on XM. I'm so happy he got to finally call a winner after working for the Rangers for so long and getting so close in 2011. Eric Nadel is nothing but class.
Lucky him to only be 10 and have a Championship under the belt!! He'll never know what we've had to endure our entire lives...but OOOOOHH how sweet this crown of victory is!!!💪🇺🇸👍
How special that night was. Thirteen years to the exact night when Bruce Bochy won his first World Series crown with the Giants -- beating the Rangers in five games. Still feels surreal, even as spring training is now underway.
For me,it was joyous, and was also.emotional. I wished that my dad had lived long enough to see it.Baseball was fellowship between a father and his youngest son.
That defeated gesture when Semien gets all of that high heater. The second he let it go Sewald knew. Im a Rangers fan but thats gotta be a miserable feeling
I felt terrible for Arizona's Alek Thomas when that ball got past him. As a Rangers fan I was glad that it let the insurance runs score, but also as a Rangers fan I know exactly how it feels watching something like that happen to your team.
@@srsmith1331 At least with Thomas, it wasnt a lead changing error. You cant win a game if you score no runs. he wont go down with Bucknor or Nelly. so at least theres that
I used to listen to Nadal and Matt a lot on radio while driving around doing Rangers games. Great times! 2010s. Especially during 2008 - 2017. So many great teams that came close and then the down years which were tough. He's great and fun to listen to. So happy that they won it all finally. 2011 is no more! Thanks for this radio feed!
Been a fan since the mid-80s. Cheering for the Rangers consumed my childhood and youth. Now as a middle aged man I only occasionally check in on them. I thought I'd moved on. I can't believe how emotional this win makes me.
I’ve watched this final call from Eric Nadel so many times I have it memorized. “It’s over! It’s over!” So amazing for the franchise and for Nadel especially!
It is still awesome watching all of this, going into the playoff I was concern with our pitching boy they put that to rest what a future we have with this team. GO RANGERS!
I’d like to say that Tge DBacks fans were great and very respectful even appreciating what they saw. Class act organization in my Book and this won’t be the only shot they get they are an up and comer. As for my Rangers being 47 and a fan for 35 of that they did it and as a fan it feels great! Congrats to both teams for a great season. Texas now we need to run it back and if the retain JM and get a true top shelf closer we have a window of about 3-5 years and could put up multiple WS Championship’s!
Awesome video. I remember back in the 80's I used to turn down the sound on the TV and always listen to Eric on WBAP 820. I remember for some reason on old Channel 39 out of Dallas then the broadcasts were synced. I wish we could still do that. The radio broadcast with TV is an awsome way to watch it.
@@KingoftheJungle214the pain will never go away, but 2023 makes it not hurt as bad! We know what it feels like to see our team win it all! Feels so damn good!
@@alexismanriquez6075 I am happy for the Texas Rangers, their fans, and BRUCE FREAKIN BOCHY! The San Francisco Giants have 3 full-time play-by-play announcers that all do radio and TV broadcasts. They all share the load and are (of course) beloved in SF. Each one of those guys got a chance to call the final out of the World Series (Duane Kuiper in 2010, Dave Flemming in 2012, and Jon Miller in 2014). I think that is so cool. It warms my heart to see long-time (and long-suffering) announcers get the honor.
I’m a Rangers fan and this will be forever a top memory. But I gotta say, in the moment, and even now, I felt so bad for Thomas in CF. Didn’t want it to happen that way. It would have scored a run, and we would have won anyways. But you hate to see that.
"May the ghosts of 2011 be forever erased." Pure perfection from Eric Nadel
He nailed it with that line. Made the perfect ending spot, as far as I was concerned.
That line broke me, instant tears
Perfection as always by the hall of famer Eric Nadel
@Supermack20 it still gets me as I've watched this video at least 100 times
These videos will never get old. I remember when Marcus got that homer. Somebody online said Marcus called ring there. Lol what a team
Fr tho. I'm watching at least 3 a day
People say Jonah’s hit sealed the game with a 3-0 lead. No one remembers the last time they allowed 3 runs in the 9th 😅 Altuve…
@sethrollins1422 .Who cares about the cheater?
❤
@@sethrollins1422who? That little midget dude that cheats? GTFOH
You did a great job syncing this up. A pleasure to listen to Nadel instead of Smoltz.
I tweaked the tracks the best I could to get the syncing right. Appreciate you noticing.
The sound when the batter hits the ball is spot on, well done.
Love Eric Nadel and wish him the best. This year has been the epitome of “it was the worst of times, it was the best of times.” for him. I hope he continues to be the voice of the Rangers. We love him here in North Texas.
Rangers fans you're not dreaming! 😢😢 gets me everytime. Cant believe it will be 1 year tomorrow!!
I know I’m not the first person on here to comment on it, but Eric’s comment on, “Maybe the ghosts of 2011 be forever erased,” gets me choked up every single time. Seriously. If you know, you know how painful that night was.

I literally cried hearing the greatest Ranger radio broadcaster make the final call.
Me too!
My brother I was watching on tv and was jumping up and down. The radio call was on an app so it was delayed so I was able to listen Nadel’s call right after they won.
I still get choked up to this day.
I like the voice crack on "that ball is history."
Yes I heard that too! At that point, he KNEW!
2 weeks as World Champs and it is still so sweet and so good. Love my Rangers!
This is a great video Steven. The sound of Eric Nadel and having the visual of The Rangers winning it all.
Wish there was an option for this. Nadel is so much better to listen to than any of the broadcast crews
100%!
Agreed!
I turned down Smoltz and started listening to Nadel. According to Smoltz No matter what the Rangers did the opposing team always did something a little bit better…
about 11 months later and this still brings me tears of overwhelming happiness... "Ranger fans your not dreaming!"
You aren't alone!
Same!

As life long rangers fan who listens to the game mostly on the radio this was amazing!
I had to mute the tv so I could hear Eric call that game. The only way it could have been better was if Mark Holtz could have been in the booth with him.
I’m sure Mark is still smiling. Such a great broadcaster. So glad Eric was back where he belongs.
I 100% agree
Whenever I start feeling down about how the Cowboys never seem to perform well in the post-season, I always turn to this video that never fails to bring a smile to my face!
Well, you’ll be coming here quite often for the foreseeable future.
Decades of waiting ended with the most glorious inning in Rangers history.
I still cannot believe it is real! Thank you for posting this.
People keep asking me what will happen if I ever get tired of watching this clip. I guess we'll never know ;)
Good one!
Nicely done!
Thank you! And in case you're wondering, no, I still haven't gotten tired of watching this!@@rx2z14
Thank you very much for this post, I wanted to hear Eric Nadel say what he said especially about 2011, he is finally free, and so are all the fans of the Rangers!!!
“Two base error, wow think about the irony there” thinking back to Nelson Cruz in game 6, crazy how the demons of 2011 were really put to rest
It was really full circle
Even if I live to be 100 this video will NEVER get old.
I can’t believe Nadel kept his cool like the professional he is through those final outs.

Man…fantastic job with this! I love hearing Nadel with this call. He sounded like we all felt.
"Rangers' Fans, You're not dreaming!"
And Man, Has it finally happened for the Texas Rangers who finally won their 1st World Series!
Eric Nadel with a call for the books! ❤
I will always get emotional seeing/ hearing this game. Sports crying is a good thing.

Nearly three months later, I wonder when the official championship film is gonna be released. Definitely getting a copy of it.
How special that night was. Thirteen years to the exact night when Bruce Bochy won his first World Series crown with the Giants -- beating the Rangers in five games. Still feels surreal, even as spring training is now underway.
For me,it was joyous, and was also.emotional. I wished that my dad had lived long enough to see it.Baseball was fellowship between a father and his youngest son.
Still watching this over a year later. That Semien homer was when we all knew!
We all knew it for sure and he knew it as well it was over
That defeated gesture when Semien gets all of that high heater. The second he let it go Sewald knew. Im a Rangers fan but thats gotta be a miserable feeling
I felt terrible for Arizona's Alek Thomas when that ball got past him. As a Rangers fan I was glad that it let the insurance runs score, but also as a Rangers fan I know exactly how it feels watching something like that happen to your team.
@@srsmith1331 At least with Thomas, it wasnt a lead changing error. You cant win a game if you score no runs. he wont go down with Bucknor or Nelly. so at least theres that
Thank you for having the entire inning!
You are welcome. That inning of that game will always be very special to me.
Yes, I've been looking for the entire 9th inning as well. Thank you so much!
Thanks
I was listening to the radio with the tv on mute! Eric Nadel is got tier commentary
Imma be honest until the end it was a pretty boring commentary
It's hard to not be boring when you are getting no hit until the 7th
Thank you Steven for uploading this video with Erci Nadel making the call. 👍
A real hero for putting this together ❤️
I used to listen to Nadal and Matt a lot on radio while driving around doing Rangers games. Great times! 2010s. Especially during 2008 - 2017.

That’s right! Fuck those cheaters!!
"We didnt cheat. We never cheat."- Jose Altuve
The perfect radio call by Eric. Go Rangers!
Eric knew better than too say “one strike away” 😂
I need this audio on Vinyl. A classic like this needs some of that crackle if you know what I mean
Thanks for the video. Can't get enough 🎉
Hello Win Column!
Thank you. I keep watching these. It makes me so happy!
I’ll add this to my rotation of Rangers videos I watch over and over 😂
The boys brought it home. The legend of Evan Carter will live forever.
Flags fly forever. Greatest sports moment of my life. Vanquishing the demons from 2010.
Right about that brother! We aren’t going back to back but nobody can ever take 2023 away from us! Hell of a ride with the Rangers!
November 1, 2023, 10:00pm CST, IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!
MY, OH, MY! WHAT A SWEET RIDE!
I’ve watched this final call from Eric Nadel so many times I have it memorized. “It’s over! It’s over!” So amazing for the franchise and for Nadel especially!
Big fan of Eric and Matt ... listening for 13 years now as the preferred voice for the Rangers out of anything else available.
Best of both worlds… What a magical season!
It is still awesome watching all of this, going into the playoff I was concern with our pitching boy they put that to rest what a future we have with this team. GO RANGERS!
I was watching so I never heard this. To hear it while seeing what I saw is AMAZING!
Watching this never gets old!
Thank you for this. It was great to hear Eric make the call.
Marte had a 20 game postseason hitting streak going into that last at bat. HAD.
I’d like to say that Tge DBacks fans were great and very respectful even appreciating what they saw. Class act organization in my Book and this won’t be the only shot they get they are an up and comer. As for my Rangers being 47 and a fan for 35 of that they did it and as a fan it feels great! Congrats to both teams for a great season. Texas now we need to run it back and if the retain JM and get a true top shelf closer we have a window of about 3-5 years and could put up multiple WS Championship’s!
goosebumps...amazing call...amazing moment
Eric had a flawless ninth inning.
Awesome video. I remember back in the 80's I used to turn down the sound on the TV and always listen to Eric on WBAP 820. I remember for some reason on old Channel 39 out of Dallas then the broadcasts were synced. I wish we could still do that. The radio broadcast with TV is an awsome way to watch it.
I could have sworn it was channel 11 that used to air the team's road games. Or did each channel carry them at some point?
Listening to John Smoltz and the other Fox guys weren’t worth it! I wish they were in sync too, because listening to Nadel was the best!
Actually I think your right, it was 11 KTVT, then later 39@@srsmith1331
This is an amazing upload, thank you!
i just cried in tears of joy again
This never gets old.
It's forever
Still does not feel real. But it is. 2011 pain is gone.
2011 pain will never be gone. That ring was ours
@@KingoftheJungle214the pain will never go away, but 2023 makes it not hurt as bad! We know what it feels like to see our team win it all! Feels so damn good!
We literally won the best World Series of all time
ICONIC BROADCAST
Thank you. I’ve been wanting to watch the video of games 6 and 7 of the ALCS and this game with Eric and Matt’s radio call. This was great.
Is there anything better than hearing your hometown announcer call the final out of the world series?
No. He deserves this one. All those years calling games and this was the only thing missing from his career. Eric Nadel. What a legend.
@@alexismanriquez6075 I am happy for the Texas Rangers, their fans, and BRUCE FREAKIN BOCHY!
The San Francisco Giants have 3 full-time play-by-play announcers that all do radio and TV broadcasts. They all share the load and are (of course) beloved in SF. Each one of those guys got a chance to call the final out of the World Series (Duane Kuiper in 2010, Dave Flemming in 2012, and Jon Miller in 2014). I think that is so cool.
It warms my heart to see long-time (and long-suffering) announcers get the honor.
You can hear it in his voice on the Semien home run, he knew it was actually happening this time.
Hello World Series championship!
The greatest inning of the greatest game
I’m a Rangers fan and this will be forever a top memory. But I gotta say, in the moment, and even now, I felt so bad for Thomas in CF. Didn’t want it to happen that way. It would have scored a run, and we would have won anyways. But you hate to see that.
Love it!
Bookmarked. Thank you for doing this, by God
I still can't believe they did it. Champions!
