Royals are Headed to the World Series…This one is for the fans!

I woke up this morning, and for a second was really afraid that yesterday was just last night's dream…..

What a night Kansas City! 29 years worth of pent up cheers and tears all came flowing out of our collective soles like a thunderstorm crossing the plains after a long and terrible drought. The Kansas City Royals are returning to the World Series. It was not that long ago this fan base was ecstatic just to be in the playoffs. This morning everyone is waking up to the realization we will be the favorite in the 2014 WORLD SERIES!

A lasting memory from last nights game was the constant buzz permeating from the stands. I had the pleasure of watching the game from the Pepsi Party Porch with a bunch of my new best friends (and one of my oldest best friends). This was a very different view from the traditional stands in the stadium. Due to the spread out nature of being in the outfield, and only having two rows of fans plus fountains, it never got that loud in our section. But flying out from the stadium seats was a constand buzz of pure energy. The crowd was on it's feet, they were cheering, chanting, yelling, and just constantly making noise. It was a completely different experience than I have ever been a part of, and just proved how much this fan base has wanted this moment!

Another lasting impression hit me when I realized how many games I have watched over the years with people like my Grandma Burke who are no longer with us. At just the moment when the last out was recorded, the sun found its way through one of the concourse tunnels at the stadium and shinned onto the infield. It stayed there for the entire presentation of the American League Championship Trophy and Lorenzo Cains acceptance of the ALCS MVP Award. For whatever reason seeing that made me think people like my Grandma, Mr. and Mrs. Kauffman, Buck O'Neil, Dick Howser, Paul Splitorff, Dan Quessenbury, and all the fans who have loved this team, but left us too soon, wanted to take a peak in at their beloved Royals!

I am not ready for this party to be over…in fact, I really believe this party is just beginning. This town has waited 29 years for anything worthy of this sort of celebration. I say we party for two full weeks, and we don't stop until the World Series Championship Trophy makes it's way down Main Street!

Let's go Royals, TAKE THE CROWN!
