• Kansas City advanced to its second straight ALCS. It's the first time the Royals have accomplished that since the 1984-85 seasons. In that '85 ALCS, the Royals faced the Blue Jays, whom they'll face in this ALCS again. In 1985, Kansas City came back from a 3-1 deficit to win it, and eventually to win the World Series.
