30 years in the making, 1985 was the last time the Royals were the kings of Major League Baseball. Those Royals were led by Hall of Fame player George Brett as they beat cross state rival St. Louis. In 2014 the Royals brought baseball life back to Kansas City. Royals fans witnessed playoff baseball for the first time in a long time. 30 years worth the wait because of that magical 2014 postseason run. It begin with an epic comeback in the Wild Card game and fell just short vs. San Francisco in a literal Fall Classic. No Wild Card game this year. Kansas City won the AL Central then would beat the Houston Astros in the ALDS & Toronto Blue Jays in the ALCS. The NL Champion New York Mets were hot coming into the 2015 World Series. The Royals cooled them down quickly with a 5 game diamond dominance. Winning the title in 5 (4-1) finishing the Mets off in the Big Apple. While taking the trophy back to the Midwest. Coming into 2016 Spring Training all eyes will be on the young Royals. Kansas City will look to repeat.
