Royals' arch nemesis frustratingly helps spark Yankees' first-round playoff win

Around this time last year, the Kansas City Royals were in a fierce head-to-head battle with the New York Yankees in the ALDS.

Amid their tightly-contested matchup, the Royals made an enemy that would end up sticking longer than just the confines of that best-of-five series. This of course was infielder Jazz Chisholm Jr., who sparked some fire works with some choice comments on the Royals' Game 2 victory and a Maikel Garcia slide into shortstop Anthony Volpe.

The bitter rivalry would rear it's ugly head again earlier this season when Chisholm had some choice words once again after Garcia tagged him a little harder than he would've liked.
