In November 2015, Kansas City sports kicked off a decade of success no one could have predicted. After falling short in the 2014 World Series, the Kansas City Royals went on another improbable run to win the 2015 World Series. The championship was the Royals’ first in 30 years and led to a celebration Kansas City had never seen before. About 800,000 fans packed into downtown Kansas City to applaud and cheer their champion Royals. It was a beautiful day, both figuratively and literally.
