If there are people obsessing about this still, you need a wee bit of help

25 years ago. Who cares at this point?

All I know is this. Cardinals equal 10 world championships. The flubs and royals combined equal 3. EOS.

If it helps you sleep at night and stop obsessing about something so trivial, I'll give you the scoreboard. You win. Props

When did I say this?

The morning of the 13th...it wasn't a big deal, except to the OP...being a Royals fan and all.

And yet it's the one that got away that haunts you...

I think I said 25 years ago who cares didn't I? The point I was making is the Cards have 10 championships without 85.

Again. It doesn't matter at this point?

One of the all time stupid decisions by a franchise, is the one the Royals made when being the first team offered to change leagues. It would have given them a couple of natural rivals, increased attendance greatly, and made them a much better franchise( not only more games with the Cards, but think of all the Cub fans coming in for all those games, especially from IOWA ). As it is, they have no natural rival, no consistent draw, and are not financially as successful as they could be. So, the next offer went to the Brewers, and they very intelligently jumped leagues.

Great point HH...KC could've had the Cubs and Cardinals and the Twins still would've had the Sox and Brewers as natural rivals...it would've made much more sense. Now KC has nothing except for a couple of interleague series, only one of which gives them a home series, guaranteed.

That is genius. I have lost most of my interest in the Royals and follow the Braves pretty much full time now. Braves were my Dad's team and always on TV.

I was really young when KC won the series but I remember Tudor sticking his finger in a rotating fan and cutting off the tip.
