World Series MVP Corey Seager receives touching note from wife after helping Rangers clinch holy grail: "My heart could burst"
After leading the Texas Rangers to victory and winning his second World Series MVP award, Corey Seager solidified his place among baseball's all-time greats. The Rangers defeated the Arizona squad 5-0 in Game 5 to win the World Series title, the first in the club's 63-year existence. The 29-year-old American shortstop ended a six-inning hitless slump and drove in the game's first run.
