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.
