I'm a little surprised the Royals don't have a team thread. Anyway, thought I'd start one.
It's been a long time since they have won a world series, IIRC the last time was 1985. Regardless, they've come quite a ways over the last several years. Gonna be a heck of a series against the NY Mets!
Most people in the Kansas City, Missouri forum kind of see this thread as the Kansas City Royals thread. I even made note of this in comment #244:

I looked for one, but I don't think City-Data has a Royals team thread in the baseball forum. But anyways, this thread has basically become, The Official (Unofficial) Kansas City Royals Thread. (Perhaps it would take a mod to change its title. But, if it were moved to the baseball section then it wouldn't get as much attention.)
The last time the Royals won the Series it was the most entertaining 10-0 Game Seven I've seen. Everyone was just sort of waiting for the fallout from the previous night's game which featured the notorious Don Dimkinger blown call at first. When the Cardinals started to fall way behind early, they pretty much threw in the towel and behaved liked brats. Herzog bringing in the volcanic tempered Andujar to relieve seemed designed to produce the explosion which it did.
I had the distinct impression that the Cardinals simply gave up by the 5th inning of that game and indulged their tempers the rest of the way.
Go Royals! I hope they win their 1st legitimate championship.
One can always play the what if game regarding that call. However to claim that it somehow deligitimizes their championship is foolish. There was a game 7 to be played and the Cardinals totally no showed. Something championship teams don't do. So go Royals! I'm rooting for you to win your second legitimate world series title. You have already acomplished a rare thing in this age of free agency by going to back to back world series. As a fan who started loving baseball with the KC A's and went on to being a Royals fan from their inception, through the glory years and the lean years, win or lose, I relish every moment of October baseball that my team plays.

I'll go to my grave still proclaiming "Bartman gets a bad wrap in Chicago." Did he walk the ballpark?? Did he leave Wood in too long?? Did he make that absolutely atrocious error which completely aided the Marlins rally?? I rest my case. The Cubs fans needed a scapegoat, and Bartman was a convenient scapegoat for them, but Alex Gonzales, the guy who made that back-breaking error should've been the branded "scapegoat."
