Every story has a beginning, even if the place we choose to begin telling it is but one of many options. Wiser persons than I have noted that one major trait setting humans apart from other animals is that we are storytellers. We even have a plethora of stories about the origins of the universe.
And, since I’m telling this version about the re-birth of The Kansas City Royals Baseball Club, I get to start with, “Once Upon a Wild Card Time…”
In the beginning, the Kansas City Royals beat the Oakland A’s in 12 innings (having trailed by four heading into the 8th), taking us all for a 2014 postseason ride we will never forget.
