The jewelry is covered in the customary quantity of Very Meaningful Numbers, from the number of sapphires on the front to the internal engravings of words.The leather from a baseball used in one of the team’s four World Series victories over the Arizona Diamondbacks has been added to the inside of the ring topper. This innovation allows the ring to be removed to reveal a map of the team’s road victories during its postseason journey.With an 11-0 record as visitors against the Tampa Bay Rays, Baltimore Orioles, Houston Astros, and Arizona Diamondbacks—team names that very neatly spell out “ROAD”—the Rangers set an MLB record for both road wins and road winning streaks.

In terms of the Very Meaningful Numbers, the Rangers at least had some fun, with 16 emerald-cut diamonds honoring “16 consecutive postseason games the Rangers homered in.” Still, nothing will ever beat what the 2019 Washington Nationals accomplished (fans might remember a “nod to the duality of franchise history”).

The three diamonds beneath the athletes’ names, which stand for “Dominate the fundamentals,” “Be a good teammate,” and “Compete with passion,” will undoubtedly stick in everyone’s memory.

For most Rangers, save for a few noteworthy ones, it’s their first career ring. In 2020, after playing in almost every game at Globe Life Field, Los Angeles Dodgers’ Corey Seager won the World Series MVP award. Will Smith, a reliever for the Kansas City Royals today, earned his third consecutive victory with the same number of teams. Naturally, manager Bruce Bochy had three from his days as a member of the San Francisco Giants.
