Kansas City is a world champion, so are we finally OK?

It ended Sunday at 11:34 p.m.

It being the end of Kansas City’s inferiority complex.

Yes. It is over, or at least it should be — this thinking that Kansas City isn’t up to snuff with other big-league metroplexes. Given the Royals’ World Series triumph, no longer should Cowtown and its people question their place among the real cities.

Not even among cities such as New York, the loser in this.

We’re now a happening town and, more startling yet, we think we know it.

Dare we declare with such hubris the demise of our legendary lack of confidence?
