I still get chills when I watch highlights from this 9-8 victory. It’s probably the most important single win in Kansas City Royals history. Seriously.
It’s hard to remember what being a KC Royals fan was like before that Tuesday night at Kauffman Stadium. The Royals hadn’t been relevant since winning the World Series in 1985. NINETEEN EIGHTY FIVE!
Ronald Reagan was president. Back To The Future was in theaters. Madonna was young and sexy. And most people didn’t own a home computer.
In short, it was an eternity ago.
