The Kansas City Royals brought the 2015 World Series trophy to the Kansas Statehouse on Monday, and that drew smiles from the House chamber to the Senate to the governor’s office.
Gov. Sam Brownback signed a proclamation and both chambers approved resolutions celebrating the World Series championship.
“The Royals just brought a joy and a sense of team and esprit de corps and just rejoicing to a region,” Brownback said after the signing ceremony.
“This is a confirmation of a region that is lifting up and growing and is dynamic and is moving forward, and they seemed to encapsulate that in their season and in what they did,” he said.
