Dallas City Council Celebrates Texas Rangers World Series Win, We Celebrate Their Real Estate
Share News:
The Texas Rangers visited Dallas City Hall on Wednesday to showcase their World Series Trophy to Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson and the City Council.
The Arlington-based Texas Rangers won Major League Baseball’s World Series in November, defeating the Arizona Diamondbacks in five games. This was the team’s first-ever championship.
But at CandysDirt.com, our version of “inside baseball” means a peek inside the estates of former and current Rangers players.
In case you missed this October feature, take a look at where past and present Texas Rangers live.
We’ll start with a retired Rangers second baseman who recently rejoined the club’s front office.
Ian Kinsler
When Ian Kinsler was traded to the Detroit Tigers in 2013, we wondered if he’d be selling his Greenbrier Drive home in University Park. We even scouted a few places for him in the ritzy parts of Detroit metro.
Thankfully, the long-time Dallasite and his lovely family stayed put in his 7,777-square-foot home with five bedrooms and eight baths. The retired player is back in Texas Rangers fans’ hearts (not that he ever left) as he joined the Rangers’ front office in February 2023 as special assistant to the General Manager Chris Young.
Kinsler’s home, shown here from a 2008 listing for $3.99 million, looks pretty different outside and I’m sure inside as well.
In fact, you can see the listing’s dark dramatics of aughts interior design in this post from the archives.
Mark Teixeira
Texas Rangers retired first baseman Mark Teixeira loves himself some Dallas-Fort Worth real estate. Back in 2010, our sister site SecondShelters.com reported that “Tex” maintains a second home getaway at 2220 King Fisher Drive in Vaquero, about 25 minutes outside Dallas. (Probably more like 45 minutes. It’s been more than a decade in Dallas traffic.)
A couple of years later, Teixeira leased the 8,554-square-foot home to none other than then-New Orleans Saints head coach Sean Payton. And you’ve got the see this place.
From the listing:
Exquisite property sits on a one-acre waterfront lot in the prestigious golf community of Vaquero. From an ideal floor plan to an extensive amount of outdoor space. The master suite wing features a private spa patio and fire pit overlooking the golf course. The upper area houses three secondary bedrooms and large game room. A Separate casita is perfect for guests! The Large covered patio with electric screens is ideal for entertaining.”
