On May 31, 2006, then-Royals owner David Glass introduced the man he hoped would lead his franchise of the cellar of baseball, a young executive from the Braves named Dayton Moore, a man with local ties who had at one time watched the Royals win the 1985 World Series from a view on I-70. Moore found the situation with the Royals worse than he imagined, but asked fans to “trust the process.” It took seven years, longer than expected, but it culminated with two of the most amazing post-season runs in recent baseball history, resulting in two pennants and a World Championship.
