The Texas Rangers won their first World Series on Wednesday, and seasoned observers have identified the magic ingredient of their success: the power of the Creed group.
“Like so many other recent sporting successes, the Rangers found absolution in the power of Creed,” writes the magazine SlateTHURSDAY.
Creed is this American group from the end of the 1990s, which offered a slightly honeyed rock, with the “Christian” label, and which rose to fame with hits Higher, Inside Us All And With Arm Wide Open before sinking into oblivion.
But now, this season, the Texas Rangers players have made Higher the anthem that brings them luck before their matches. The spectators joined in, shouting success in turn to motivate their team. The members of the Creed group even surprised the Rangers by attending one of their games two weeks ago. They also encouraged them extensively on social networks.
At the end of their big victory on Wednesday, the Rangers bellowed Higher while opening the champagne, a scene that made the rounds on social networks.
The members of Creed will reunite for the first time in ten years next year, and they will make a stop in Dallas on September 11, the time to once again celebrate this first World Series victory for the Rangers in 63 years of history.
