A full postseason share for the World Series champion Texas Rangers totaled $506,263, just down from the record set when the Houston Astros won in 2022, but the total pool increased to the most in Major League Baseball history.

The pool of $107.8 million topped last year's $107.5 million in the first season of expanded playoffs but the share was down from Houston's $516,347.

 ens of thousands Texas Rangers fans lined up and stacked dozens deep in some areas along a 2-mile route near the team's ballpark for a parade Friday to celebrate the franchise's first World Series championship.

"This is why we came back, for the parade," All-Star second baseman Marcus Semien said.

The parade came two days after the Rangers wrapped up the World Series title with a 5-0 win on the road in Game 5 against the Arizona Diamondbacks.

The Texas Rangers defeated the upstart, underdog Arizona Diamondbacks in front of a soldout Chase Field crowd, 5-0, in Game 5 of the World Series on Wednesday, clinching the first championship in the 62-year history of their franchise. Nathan Eovaldi continually weaved out of trouble, somehow matching a dominant Zac Gallen through six scoreless innings, and the Rangers' offense finally came through late, producing a run in the seventh and exploding for four in the ninth.

The greatest postseason in Rangers history finished with an 11th consecutive road victory. No team had ever won more than eight in a row in the playoffs.

The Texas Rangers were dealt a devastating blow then did what they seem to do every time adversity strikes this season: They dominated in the face of it.

Moments after learning that Max Scherzer and Adolis Garcia would be forced off their World Series roster because of injury, the Rangers put together arguably their most complete performance of this postseason, storming past the Arizona Diamondbacks with an 11-7 drubbing in Game 4 on Tuesday night.

The Rangers, with a 3-1 lead in the Series, are now one win away from solidifying the first championship in their 62-year franchise history.
