Kansas City Royals – A Glance into History

The Kansas City Royals were incepted in the year 1969 and became a force to be reckoned with almost immediately. They notched up an 85-76 record in only their third season and then went from strength to strength from that point onwards, at least for the next few years. The Royals became a dominant side in the AL West, racking up four straight seasons of 90 plus wins between 1975 and 1978.

They continued that momentum during the 1980s and qualified for the World Series in 1980. They lost to the Philadelphia Phillies on that occasion, but they were not to be denied the biggest prize in the sport for long. In 1985, they made it to the World Series once again and this time they were up against the St. Louis Cardinals. They were 3-1 down but rallied back to become the first ever team to overcome that deficit to with the World Series.

Then came a lengthy slump. Between 1995 and 2013, the Royals recorded just two winning campaigns. On top of that, they failed to play in the postseason between 1986 and 2013. They defied all odds and bounced back once again. They went all the way to the World Series in 2014 but lost out to the San Francisco Giants. The Royals then went a step further in 2015 by beating the New York Mets to clinch their second World Series title.
