Brief history of the franchise
After the glory days of the 70’s and 80’s - including a loss to the Phillies in the 1980 World Series - the Royals hit a bit of a rough patch starting in 1986, going 28 straight seasons without making the playoffs. Then in 2014 they qualified as a Wild Card team and made it to the World Series. The following season, they returned to the Fall Classic and won it.
