The Texas Rangers won the World Series on Wednesday night (November 1st), defeating the Arizona Diamondbacks four games to one. In celebration, the team sang their adopted anthem — Creed’s “Higher” — in the locker room after the game.
The victory marked the Rangers’ first championship in the history of the franchise, having been one of only a handful of Major League Baseball teams to never win the World Series. During their postseason run, Creed’s “Higher” became a staple for the Rangers, after pitcher Andrew Heaney revealed that the players had been using the anthemic song as a battling cry since the middle of the season.
Over the past few weeks, the bond between the Rangers and Creed made headlines, as the team’s home stadium played a sing-along version of “Higher” on the Jumbotron during games. The members of Creed even attended one of the Rangers’ ALCS showdowns against the Houston Astros.

It all culminated with the Rangers players singing “Higher” last night during their champagne-fueled celebration in the locker room at Arizona’s Chase Field, as seen in the video clips below.
The timing worked out great for Creed, who recently announced an extensive 2024 North American reunion tour, featuring support from 3 Doors Down and more. Tickets for the band’s first outing in 12 years are available here.
