Kansas City Royals

The Kansas City Royals are a Major League Baseball (MLB) team based in Kansas City, Missouri. The team was founded as an expansion franchise in 1969 and has played their home games at Kauffman Stadium since 1973. They are members of the Central Division of the American League (AL).

The Royals have won two World Series titles, first in 1985 and then again in 2015. In addition to these championships, they have also appeared five times in the playoffs: 1976, 1977, 1978, 1980 and 2014-2015. The last time they were crowned champions came after defeating the New York Mets 4–1 during a best-of-seven series for their second title win ever. This marked an incredible turnaround from where they had been just one year prior; finishing with 95 losses compared to 87 victories when all seemed lost for them heading into that season’s post-season run.

Under manager Ned Yost’s leadership throughout this period of success from 2013 through 2015—which included three consecutive AL Championship appearances—the Royals established themselves as perennial contenders capable of making deep postseason runs each year despite having limited resources financially due to its small market status within MLB circles relative other franchises like those located near larger cities such as Los Angeles or Chicago. Even during recent years without playoff berths however; fans continue showing up consistently at “The K” every summer weekend cheering on “Our Boys In Blue” regardless if victory is attained or not because it’s become more than just baseball now…it’s family tradition too!

In 2020 ownership changed hands when John Sherman became principal owner following David Glass’ retirement after 20+ seasons owning majority stake over club operations but even still today his mark can be felt everywhere around stadium grounds thanks largely towards his willingness invest back into city by renovating facilities both inside & outside walls which helped make sure KC would remain top destination spot amongst players wanting compete highest level competition alongside some greatest sportsmen world knows about today such Mike Moustakas Lorenzo Cain Salvador Perez Alex Gordon Eric Hosmer plus many others who made contributions keeping winning ways going over past few decades while bringing joy entire region…something will always remember fondly here no matter what future holds next !
