KC Royals fans couldn’t have scripted a better Opening Day. First, they got to celebrate raising the 2015 World Series Champion flag and saw Salvador Perez, Eric Hosmer, and Alcides Escobar awarded the gold gloves they earned in 2015.
Then, the Kansas City Royals topped off the night by winning 4-3 over World Series rival New York Mets.
What’s more is that they won with what baseball fans across the nation now recognize as Kansas City Royals baseball: make contact at the plate, aggressive base running, and pitter-patter rallies that chip away at the opposing pitching staff.
