Back when George Brett got tossed for having a corked bat the Kansas City Royals were a fixture in MLB postseason play. The Royals were one of the most successful baseball teams starting in the late 1970's up until 1985. They defeated the St Louis Cardinals to win the 1985 World Series. That was one of the most memorable championship rounds in MLB history.
In 1985 no baseball fan in their right mind would have predicted the Royals would go 29 years before their next postseason birth. However, this is the reality of the Royals organization.
The Detroit Tigers, Minnesota Twins and Cleveland Indians have feasted on Kansas City for years. The days of the Royals being a perennial last place team are over. The team rallied this summer after a slow start to finish the season with an 89-73 record.
Congratulations to the Kansas City Royals. Hopefully the team can go out and give all those loyal fans that stuck around for those abysmal season's something to be proud of.
