A lot can change in three years. Since 2015, I’ve gotten married, traveled to the other side of the world twice, and ate expired yogurt a number of times. Plenty has changed for the New York Mets and Kansas City Royals in this time, too.
Back in 2015, the Mets and Royals faced off in a World Series few saw coming. On the backs of their starting rotation and Yoenis Cespedes, the team climbed to the championship series. A terrific postseason by Daniel Murphy propelled them to the final round where they would face off against a team that came up just shy of winning it all one year earlier.
