Would be nice for new manager Stephen Vogt to get a championship ring too, I suppose.

In the 70s, we had three humiliating losses to the damn Yankees--I have loathed that franchise ever since the first one!
1977 was the worst, since the Royals were really the best team in the majors, behind Brett, McRae, and an amazing pitching staff.
