The anticipation is finally over, and the 2015 World Series will see the first pitch of Game 1 get thrown out Tuesday evening at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri.
That's where the Kansas City Royals will welcome the New York Mets for the beginning of what promises to be a back-and-forth series. The average baseball fan can only hope to see another series like last year's championship battle, which saw the Royals take the San Francisco Giants to seven games.
While the Royals couldn't end their long championship drought then, now they have the opportunity to bring a 30-year window without a title to a close.
