I must confess, I’m suffering playoff withdrawal syndrome after watching the early post-season action in 2016. While playoff baseball is still more intense, the current post-season just doesn’t have the same impact without the Kansas City Royals involved.
Thus, I decided to take a look back at last year’s World Series run as this October progresses.
The big thing that jumps out at me from game 2 is that this was a critical victory that has largely been obscured by seven more comeback victories that happened later in the post-season. Make no mistake however, if the Kansas CIty Royals had lost on October 9, 2015, their playoff run would likely have ended on October 11.
