The Kansas City Royals celebrated their first championship since 1985 with a downtown victory parade Tuesday afternoon. Fans turned out in droves to attend the festivities after watching the Royals dispatch the New York Mets in five games to win the 2015 World Series.
AJ Cassavell of MLB.com passed along comments from Alex Gordon, who's been with the organization since it drafted him with the second overall pick in 2005, about what he expected given the long drought and the fans' extended wait for a championship.
"Oh, that is going to be so sweet," Gordon said.
