"You guys had to fight your way through the wild card," Biden said. "You swept the Rays. You swept the Orioles. You got your revenge on the Astros. And then you went on to beat the Diamondbacks in the World Series."
Biden shouted out multiple players for their contributions during their run to the championship.

"The standout pitcher. Nathan (Eovaldi). Major League record with five wins in a single postseason," Biden said. "(Adolis) Garcia. Another major league record. Most RBIs in a single (post)season."
Biden joked about how, if the Rangers win another world series, manager Bruce Bochy would have to either put his fifth World Series ring on his thumb or another hand because last fall was the manager's fourth career world series win.
