The Kansas City Royals and the Mets have met only nine times in their joint history, all of them interleague games that attracted little attention.
But now, in the coming days, these two teams will play at least four more games against each other, and all of them will take place on baseball’s ultimate stage: the World Series. This time, every fan in the country will be watching.
The Mets nailed down their spot in the Series on Wednesday when they completed a four-game sweep of the Chicago Cubs in the National League Championship Series.
