[Dallas,TX – November 2nd]
There is a new MLB Champion in town and its the Kansas City Royals. We quickly fast forward to the ninth inning where it seems to embody the 2015 Kansas City Royals almost too perfectly: Though many quibbled with the process behind Hosmer’s mad dash to the plate, there’s no arguing with the results.

“Our fan base and our team share a real special bond,” Hosmer said. “That’s grown throughout the whole entire world, I think, as the fans have watched us compete throughout this postseason.”
Indeed, the Royals made plenty of new fans with their scrappy, fight-to-the-last-out style.
Recap of the Final Innings :
12th inning – Royals plate five runs, a World Series record for an extra inning. Christian Colon’s RBI single breaks the tie, Alcides Escobar adds an RBI double and Lorenzo Cain breaks it open with a three-run double. Wade Davis closes it out in the bottom half, and the Kansas City Royals are the 2015 World Series champions. Royals 7, Mets 2, final.
11th inning – Eric Hosmer singles with two outs and then steals second, but Jon Niese escapes. Luke Hochevar walks Daniel Murphy with two outs, but Mets don’t score either. Royals 2, Mets 2.
Here’s what does: It worked. The Kansas City Royals are your 2015 world champions.
10th inning – Both teams go down in order. To the 11th. Royals 2, Mets 2
