===Los Angeles Angels=== {{Main|Angels–Rangers rivalry}} The Rangers' rivalry with the [[Los Angeles Angels|Angels]] has been said to have developed over a domination in the division between the two teams, and also in recent years more animosity between the two teams due to players who have played for both teams, including Nolan Ryan, [[Mike Napoli]], [[Darren Oliver]], [[Vladimir Guerrero]], [[C. J. Wilson]], and [[Josh Hamilton]]. In 2012, Wilson played a joke on Napoli, his former teammate, by [[Twitter|tweeting]] his phone number, causing Napoli to exchange words with Wilson.<ref>{{cite news |title=C.J.
