About The Kansas City Royals

The Royals had their first winning season in 1971. Manager Bob Lemon led them to a second-place finish. In 1975 the team’s manager was changed to Whitey Herzog, and the team quickly rose to become the dominant franchise in the AL’s Western Division, by winning division championships three times in a row from 1976 to 1978. The Kansas City Royals tickets began to increase in sales as more and more baseball fans became enthralled by this team. But, the Royals lost to the New York Yankees three times in a row in their American League Championship Series encounters.

In 1980 the team came back in full force and advanced to the American League Championship Series (ALCS) where they still faced the New York Yankees (again), but this time the Royals defeated the Yankees in a three-game sweep. This victory over the Yankees had Kansas City Royals ticket holding fans screaming for joy, but the joy of the Royals fans was cut short after the team fell to the Philadelphia Phillies in six games.

In 1981 the team were back to the post-season, but lost to the Oakland Athletics in an exceptional divisional series which resulted from the split-season caused by the Major League Baseball strike in 1981.

During the 1985 regular season the Royals became the best team in the Western Division of the AL for the sixth time in 10 years. The Royals were led by Bret Saberhagen’s Cy Young Award- winning performance. Even though the Royals found themselves in close games, they often managed to get out of them with the W. When the Royals were down three games-to-one in the ALCS against the Toronto Blue Jays, the Royals at in the end rallied to win the series 4 – 3. All Kansas City Royals ticket holding were pleased and proud to see their team win the ALCS.

The team developed young stars in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s such as Kevin Seitzer, Bo Jackson and Tom Gordon, and also made very successful free-agent acquisitions. The team posted winning records but failed to make it to the playoffs.

The Royals set a new team record, by losing 100 games for the first time in franchise history in 2002. All holders of the Kansas City Royals tickets were off course disappointed. But in 2003 the team spent most of the season in first but still ended up in third place behind the Chicago White Sox and Minnesota Twins, who ended up winning the American League Central.

The Kansas City Royals won the World Series championship in 1985 and the American League Pennant twice 1985 and 1980. The team has six American League Western Division titles while playing at Kauffman Stadium.
