Rangers Top 10 Plays: 2009 Edition

For the sake of review, lets rank the top 10 plays of 2009 in descending order.

 

Star-divide

 

 

Time to vote for the number 1 play of 2009... Because of the sheer number of candidates, we will do this vote as two parts... Part 1 will be this initial vote, and then we will have a second vote tomorrow between the top 4 vote getters to determine the number 1 play...

If you think certain plays on this list shouldn't be here, or that some are missing, please put them in the comments section below the FanPost...

After completion of this ranking, I will put them together in a highlight video...

I remember on that Buchholz being thrown out at home play

One of my neighbors actually came out onto their back patio and yelled at me for whooping so loud.

Then the fucking roof fell in on fx2.

I failed my LSB ethics test.

Elvis getting Gutierrez...

was just amazing.

So many of his plays this year were, but the range he showed on that play was just sick.

Some of these aren't plays

they are individual game accomplishments. Kinda difficult to rank Kinsler hitting for the cycle vs an amazing highlight real play by Elvis.

my better is better than your better.

...But thanks for playing.

Surely this guy is kidding.

First thing, thanks for putting all these vids together...

…although it makes me hurt for baseball real bad.

And the 8 steal game gives me a boner. Borbon is an animal on the paths…hope he’s improved and we run him out there every day.

I picked the Andrus play on Gutierrex for 2 reasons,

a)the look of amazement on O’Day’s face and b) Lewin asking “How’s everyone feeling about Michael Young being moved to third base right about now?” right at the end of the clip. Hilarious!
