NEW YORK — Pity the Mets and their long-suffering fans: It’s been 29 years since the last World Series parade.
Pity the Royals and their long-suffering fans: It has been 30 years since they last hoisted The Trophy With All The Little Banners.
Red Sox fans, meanwhile, are rolling their eyes and saying, “You don’t know what real pain is.”
That’s my surprise takeaway, so far, of the 2015 World Series.
Yes, it’s surprising that the Royals have a 2-0 Series lead.
Yes, it’s surprising that the Royals were so dead-on as to what Mets righty Jake deGrom was throwing in Game 2 that it was as though each pitch had been pre-announced on the “Crown Vision” flat screen out in center field at Kauffman Stadium.
