Dan Glass 'proud' to see Royals back on top

KANSAS CITY -- For years, Royals president Dan Glass would hear the criticism, that the franchise would never return to its glorious past.

Those conversations, of course, are distant memory now, though Glass remembers them well.

"We're all human," Glass told MLB.com. "You hear them. But what made it easier [to withstand] is that we all believed in our direction. We all knew we would get there, but that it would just take time."

And now, one of the biggest cheers of the Royals' World Series parade went to the Glass family as 800,000 fans flooded downtown Kansas City last week.
