Kansas City Royals History: Don Denkinger Sends 1985 Team to Game 7

(Editor’s note: This is one of several on-this-date posts that KoK will publish throughout the 2017 postseason. They will highlight the postseason success of the Kansas City Royals over the years with particular emphasis given to 2014 and 2015—given the strong ties to the current squad.)

It might not be the “best” game in Kansas City Royals history, but the sixth game of the 1985 World Series is the most well-known contest the franchise has ever played. Ask most baseball fans outside of Missouri about the 1985 Fall Classic, they are most likely going to mention the blown call at first base in the ninth inning of Game 6.
