Royals

2ndChampionship Title

The Road to Victory

The Kansas City Royals bounced back from their 2014 championship lossby defeating the New York Mets 4-1 to claim their first trophy in 30 years. The first pitch of the first game resulted in a Royal inside-the-park home run, a play that hasn’t been seen in a World Series since 1929. Game 3 witnessed a hopeful New York knock three of the team’s six home runs in the Series, but the momentum was short-lived as the Royals wrapped up the five game duel, out-hitting the Mets47-34 and committingfewer errors on the field. Batting .364 in the Series, Salvador Perez became the first catcher since 1992 to take home the MVP.

Season Fun FactThe Brewers retire a #1 jersey in honor of Bud Selig, who had previously owned the team and was baseball’s 9th Commissioner from 1998 -2014.
