The story of the Texas Rangers and their 2010 world series season.

The Newberg Report pulls back the curtain on The Texas Rangers baseball team by taking a look at everything from what the organization does to the intuitive emphasis on the ¿how¿ and the ¿why.¿ The book, now in its 10th edition, encourages casual fans to get more involved while providing hardcore fans with a forum to discuss their beloved team. It¿s written by ¿baseball guru¿ Jamey Newberg.

The 2013 Bound Edition of the Newberg Report, Jamey Newberg's 14th annual book on the Texas Rangers, contains over three hundred pages commemorating the 2012 Rangers season, chronicled in daily, exhaustive, emotional detail. For any Rangers fan, this book will be one to look back on for years and years. With forewords written by Rangers Senior Director of Player Personnel A.J. Preller and Baseball Prospectus writer Jason Parks, the book not only looks back on 2012 but also serves as a primer on what Rangers fans can expect from the Rangers organization in 2013 and in the years to come. Nowhere can baseball fans find more information and analysis on the players that the Rangers are developing as future members of the major league team and, in some scenarios, as ammunition for trades meant to keep the club¿s window of contention open for years to come. The book picks up right where the 2012 Bound Edition left off, taking fans from November 2011 through October 2012, through all of the twists and turns the 2012 season took. Not just a complete record of the Rangers¿ season, the 2013 Bound Edition includes a feature section comprised of rankings and analysis of more than seventy Rangers prospects throughout the club¿s highly ranked farm system, broken down by position, making the book an invaluable primer on the players who will keep the Rangers organization in a position to win for a long time.

Being a Rangers fan is about more than watching the team win the big game, and this book helps fans get the most out of it. Taking 40 years of Rangers history, the book distills it to the absolute best and most compelling moments, identifying the personalities, events, and facts every Rangers fan should know without hesitation. Numbers with huge import, such as 8, 34, and 1972; nicknames such as Pudge, Juan Gone, and Ryan Express; plus memorable moments, singular achievements, and signature calls all highlight the list. Experiences are another important part of the fabric of being a fan, so the book also includes things Rangers fans should actually see and do before they join Billy Martin and others at the Pearly Gates. From having a brew at the best Rangers bars in Texas to discovering the boyhood home of Nolan Ryan and finding the best food at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, this book contains numerous tips and suggestions for enjoying all aspects of Rangers fandom.

Sports fans are a devoted bunch, win or lose. Millions sit in the wind and the cold, watching their team slip ever further from the playoffs--only to come back for more next year. What is it that keeps them going? This book, published just before the Cubs ended the longest active drought in pro sports, features more than 100 loyal followers of 23 teams who explain their reasons for never giving up. They tell stories of devotion and determination: the Toronto Maple Leafs fans who got married, on the ice, before a game; the Sacramento Kings supporters who fought to keep their team from leaving town; and the fans of Mississippi State football with their never-say-die cowbells. For these fans, optimism outweighs disappointment.
