The state of Missouri had two very good baseball teams on different ends of the state this past MLB season. The 2015 Missouri Tigers looked like one of them. Guess which?
Hint: It wasn't the one that ended winning it all.
No, the Kansas City Royals got by on a combination of solid starting, a dominant bullpen and an under-the-radar offense that ended up being one of the best in baseball. And it resulted in a World Series trophy.
The St. Louis Cardinals, on the other hand, are the team that looked like a professional version of the Missouri Tigers, albeit more successful.
