The Kansas City Royals was once the laughing stock in baseball, now they are a team that's destined for greatness. This just didn't happen over night, it all started back 29 years ago when they made their last postseason appearance. After that, they had some struggles along the way, but the wait seems to be well worth it for Royals fans. They've been dreaming for this day to come and it's now here.
They are just one game away from reaching the ALCS, but they have to finish off the Los Angeles Angels which had the best record in the majors. With the struggles of their stars, Mike Trout, Albert Pujols and Josh Hamilton, the Kansas City Royals look like they can get the sweep at home on Sunday.
Nobody seen this coming and might not be prepared to see a Royals' team in the World Series if that comes to be. Most MLB fans are pushing for a Angels vs. Dodgers World Series. But these are the stories that I love writing about, the underdogs in sports that most just count out. Just to see this team come together as one, with strong pitching and elusive speed on the bases, nothing can stop them but them.
Manager Ned Yost has done a fine job with this club. He made them believe in themselves and that they were worthy to be here. They wanted to clinch a playoff berth weeks before the ending of the season, but it didn't work out that way. They had to fight, scratch and claw to the finish just to get a Wild Card spot.
The Kansas City Royals handled business and beat the Oakland Athletics in a one game take all in extra innings. Let's keep an eye on the Royals pitching. If James Shields and Yordano Ventura can keep pitching lights out, this team will, and I don't hesitate to say they'll go to the World Series.
