Eric Hosmer's eighth-inning single scored Lorenzo Cain from first to break a 3-3 tie, then closer Wade Davis slammed the door in the ninth as K.C. beat Toronto to earn a repeat trip to the World Series.
You guys are forgetting one of the most important Royals player of all time . . . Don Denkinger! Came through for you in the clutch.
Oldplayer
I’ve never forgotten Don.
I love that, my friend has it on face book.
LETS GO METS!!!
I disagree with the Westboro Baptist Church.
I don’t think God hates Canada
But I am glad he hates Toronto
As I recall, Freddie was rather short in stature but an awesome shortstop. George Brett played third base, Cookie Rojas was second baseman, Darrell Porter was a fantastic catcher. Amos Otis is another name I remember as a center fielder with a huge bat. We went to most of the home games back then. Just a great group of guys.
My first thought was who? So I looked him up. You may have a point.
Don Denkinger

This is the best picture ever!
I knew that as soon as Hosmer hit it that there was no way Cain would hold at third. Not after game seven in last year’s world series. Go big or go home.
Apparently you missed the fans pelting their field with beer cans and bottles for 8 minutes last week, and the BlueJay players asking them to stop but getting ignored. Then they did it some more later in the inning.
That inning was so epic that Fox Sports 1 replayed just that inning a few days later, as a separate show. (Game Five, TEX v TOR, the 7th inning, which lasted an hour)
That sign is cold!
Funny.
But cold.

At least KC got the win in front of the home crowd.
Saberhagen was the odd year guy. Did great in odd years and not as great in the even years.
I remember watching him on pins and needles in the I70 World Series. That was a fun time. The folks from St. Louis were good fans back then. I remember everything along 70 was all baseball.
I love it!
Go Royals!!
Ha ha ha. Love it!
Exactly.
That's what real fans do
Used to be that way in New York.
Now there's empty seats behind home plate after the 6th inning.
