The Kansas City Royals clinched the 2015 World Series on the road in NY, which meant they didn’t get to celebrate in front of their fans.

All three Royals played key roles in Kansas City’s playoff run and later praised their teammates for helping them to play through their grief.
Let’s face it, the odds were stacked against NY the moment they went lost Game 4 and went down 3-1. “That classiness has continued today”.
The 2009 World Series featured the Philadelphia Phillies and the NY Yankees, who are separated by only a few hours along the New Jersey Turnpike.
Brett said he expected the talented core of the Royals to improve. “You know, I got one of the best closers in the game. With class. No riots or cars set on fire here”.
De Blasio pledged Tuesday to make good on his bet with Kansas City Mayor Sly James after the Mets fell to the Royals in the World Series.
Christian Colon, who hit in the go-ahead run in the Royals’ 7-2 win over the NY Mets in the championship game, told WDAF-TV that he was not surprised by the turnout.
Dyson was running for catcher Salvador Perez, who opened the 12th with a single.
Two days after the end of the Mets’ run to the World Series, they have rewarded Terry Collins, the man who guided them there, with a new two-year contract, according to two sources with knowledge of the deal. Alderson, the book said, had estimated that Collins had just a 51 percent chance to come back in 2015 last August, but “frankly, for me, that percentage has been eroding”.
Now that the Royals finally won their first title in 30 years, it is clear that owner David Glass and general manager Dayton Moore want to be in the same situation next year.
Steve Templeton, of Lee’s Summit, Missouri, says he’s supported the Royals since 1965. Nine more outs spread over those gnawing nights and they’re the ones bouncing in blissful unison at Citi Field, hoisting the championship trophy, soaking each other with champagne. 269 for the year and the Giants were right behind them with a. 267 average, showcasing the ability of both teams to put the ball in play consistently. As Game 5 took place in NY, Monday was a travel day for the new champs, so the traditional ticker-tape parade is slated for Tuesday back in KC.

The victory parade began at the downtown Power & Light District and was winding 2.3 miles before ending with a rally at Union Station.
