Congratulations to the Kansas City Royals, their fans, and their management. The Royals won the World Series in five games, over the New York Mets. (I have no idea how the Mets got this far. They showed me nothing.) The Royals won the World Series in 1985, when I lived in Tucson. I remember it well, because I was rooting for the Royals, who had had much bad luck until then. I'm not the least bit surprised that this year's team won it all. Losing the 2014 World Series in seven games to the San Francisco Giants, with the deciding game being decided by one run, was heartbreaking for the players and their fans. I knew they'd be back to win it all, and they did. I've never seen a scrappier team. Almost on a daily basis this season, the team came from behind to win. Next up: the annual awards. Look for Adrian Beltre of the Texas Rangers to be named the Most Valuable Player of the American League. With him, they won the division. Without him, they finish in third place.
