The Rangers have found some inspiration from an unlikely source during their postseason run—the rock band Creed, who had quite a run in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Texas has been playing Creed songs before games, and they had seemed to help motivate the team to win. Well, until Wednesday night, that is, as they lost their first game of the 2023 playoffs, falling at home to the Astros, 8–5, in Game 3 of the ALCS.
Creed attended the game and shot this video from the stands, with lead singer Scott Stapp saying “Go Rangers!” and then following that up with “Go MLB, baby!,” which was kind of awkward.
Creed is actually at the Astros-Rangers game tonight
