Publish Date: 10/14/2023
Fact checked by: Mark Lewis

The top 10 Texas Rangers of all time was only difficult because of the steroids accusations that fly around so many of these players.

10) Kenny Rogers

Had more than 200 innings as a starter five times. Produced first perfect game by a left-hander in AL history against California on July 28, 1994. Club all-time leader in appearances by a pitcher with 528.

9) Rafael Palmeiro

In 10 seasons (1989-93, 1999-2003), the club hit .290 with 321 home runs and 1,039 RBIs. Unfortunately, steroids also taint his time in Texas.

8) Alex Rodriguez

Rodriguez Led the American League in homers all three seasons, with 151 total, and also had league-high 142 RBIs in 2002. Won AL MVP in 2003 and finished second and sixth in other seasons. However, steroids taint his career, and his tenure in Texas was short.

2) Nolan Ryan

Ryan brought interest back to the Rangers franchise, which is why a new stadium was built for the team. In five seasons (1989-93), he had two no-hitters and passed career milestones such as 300 wins and 5,000 strikeouts.
