Our All-Time Top 50 Texas Rangers have been updated to reflect the 2023 Season
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out, and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our post-2022/23 revision of our top 50 Texas Rangers.
As for all of our top 50 players in baseball, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in Major League Baseball.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, very few expected the Rangers to make the playoffs, let alone win the World Series, but they shocked the world and won it all. This led to three new entrants and one elevation.
As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes.
5. Frank Howard
You can find the entire list here.
The first of the three new entrants is Shortstop Corey Seager, who was the World Series MVP and an All-MLB 1 Selection in 2023.
Outfielder and two-time All-Star Adolis Garcia makes his first appearance at #35.
Second Baseman Marcus Semien is the last new entry, debuting at #36. Like Seager, He was also an All-MLB 1 Selection in 2023.
The only elevation was Pitcher Martin Perez, who advanced two spots to #43.
As always, we thank you for your support, and look for more revisions in the future.
RIP: Frank Howard
Baseball lost a good one in Frank Howard, who passed away at the age of 87.
A gargantuan figure at 6’ 7”, Howard routinely blasted monster Home Runs, mostly for the Washington Senators where he was a four-time All-Star, was a two-time Home Run champion, and had two top-five finishes in MVP voting. Prior to his famed run in D.C., Howard won the National League Rookie of the Year as a Los Angeles Dodger in 1960, and was a member of their World Series Championship team in 1963.
Howard smacked 382 Home Runs and 1,119 Runs Batted In over his career.
We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the fans, friends and family of Frank Howard.

- Playoff accomplishments.
- Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.
Remember, this is ONLY based on what a player does on that particular team and not what he accomplished elsewhere and also note that we have placed an increased importance on the first two categories, which has altered the rankings considerably.
This list is updated up until the end of the 2018 Season.
The complete list can be found here, but as always we announce our top five in this article. They are:
There is a significant shift in many of the players and a few new ones based on shuffling of the metrics we have used for our Top 50s.
As always we thank you for your support.8. Frank Howard
