00:14 >> We're not little anymore, we're the big time Rangers.

00:17 Long time coming over what, 60 years since they were Washington Senators,

00:29 I had to keep on coming.

00:31 I had a tradition going.

00:33 Nobody predicted us to even win the division.

01:31 >> It's a lifelong dream.

01:59 I love the stadium.

02:00 I love the Rangers.
