    I’m English. I’m a die-hard Gooner. 47 years old. I started doing shift work in 2001, and got into baseball working nights. I had to pick a team and I picked the Royals coz they were the worst team out there and us Brits love an underdog.
    I watched the 100 loss seasons, saw this team grow, died a little bit when the giants edged us the year before. And Despite Arsenal having their best period ever and winning all sorts of shit throughout the early 2000s, this is the best I’ve ever felt watching sport. I was swapping my day shifts for night shifts throughout the playoffs just so I could stream the games. And I was in my 40s behaving like a f’kin fanboy. F’kin tears man.. just the best... and I really don’t mind at all that The Royals are back in 2019 where I found them in 2001, because THIS happened.
    Thanks for this video Brad. Must be 20 times I’ve watched it. RIP ACE.

      And congrats to him frankly. I'm glad he was able to get the proper recognition for such an amazing feat (2 rings with 2 diff teams back to back) Joe Maddon specifically wanted him and heavily endorsed him to Theo to mate sure and get him before that championship season for cubs. He had success with him in Tampa going to world series and according to Maddon he will be the next phenom "player to manager" right after retirement. I love players like Zobrist who obviously have very high baseball acumens and are very valuable to their teams because even though they won't 'wow' anyone with huge stats in one area but they'll be consistently good in many areas for a while. To be the leadoff hitter on a team like the '16 cubs with those hitters, be extremely productive and especially reliable with the OPS he had and at his age was nothing short of amazing. Can't wait to see the guy manage. I think guys like Cora, Girardi, Matheny, Kapler, Counsel and soon Zobrist is the new wave of young managers fresh out of the league and how the game is played now vs the older type guy who's Benn around to 50 places and in his late 40s before given a chance

    I went to Game 7 of the 2014 World Series. I’m a Royals fan who grew up in Kansas City. I remember going to work the next day and it was relatively quiet around town. I remember sitting there thinking that the Royals were literally just a big play or two away from changing the entire vibe of the city. The great thing is they came back and won it all the next year, and afterward the city was invigorated. Going to the parade was an experience I’ll never forget. I didn’t fully understand how big of a difference there was between winning and losing the World Series until witnessing those two seasons.

    It was one of those moments where everyone continues to ask: Where were you when the Royals brought it back home after 30 years of heartbreak? Where were you when Wade Davis made that final punchout of the 2015 World Series? Where were you when the Royals made it the final 90 feet? And what did you do to celebrate it?
    My answer: I was at home, sitting on the couch in a dimly lit living room when they did it. And what I did to celebrate was to simply raise my fists in not just triumph...but relief. Relief in that we had exorcised the demons of defeat and that we had finally-albeit briefly-got to see what it was like from the mountaintop after walking through 30 years of darkness and despair.
    So to the boys who helped to bring it back home: Thanks for the memories...we are forever grateful for what you did.

    As a Royals fan watching the 2023 team. It is evident that the team has talent like Bobby Witt Jr, Vinnie Pasquantino, MJ Melendez, and more talent in the minors. What these guys lack though is the heart and the desire to win at all costs. The "keep the line moving" mentality, picking up the pitching when it's bad or the pitching picking up the hitting when it's bad. I hope we can get back to consistently winning baseball, especially in an era where small-market teams are always at the deficit of big markets who can buy players.
