When they lost Game 7 in 2014, fans stayed in their seats chanting ‘Thank you Royals’ for all they had given them.
So no, I’m not willing to let a few weeks of bad baseball sour for me all the good memories that came with 2014 and 2015. Those players delivered a product that has created a lifetime of positive moments that I’ll be able to reflect back upon.
