Was able to give Zack a proper thank you today.
Not a bad end to the season. And really not even close to the worst team this year. I guess something to hang your hat on

October 22, 1985 — Pitcher Bret Saberhagen gives the Kansas City Royals their first Series victory with a complete game 6 – 1 decision in Game 3. The St. Louis Cardinals had won the Series’ first two games, played in Kansas City.The Royals got back into the series by riding ace Bret Saberhagen to a 6–1 victory against twenty-game winner Joaquín Andújar. Saberhagen flashed messages on the television screen to his pregnant wife who was due to give birth any day. She eventually gave birth on October 26 (in Game 6). The Royals went up 2–0 in the fourth on Lonnie Smith’s two-run double that scored Jim Sundberg and Buddy Biancalana, who had walked and singled, respectively. Royals second baseman Frank White made history by becoming the first second baseman in the history of the World Series to hit in the clean-up spot in the batting order. White came through with a two-run home run off of Andújar in the fifth after George Brett got on base. The Cardinals scored their only run of the game in the sixth off of Saberhagen on consecutive singles by Ozzie Smith, Tom Herr, and Jack Clark. The Royals padded their lead in the seventh off of Ricky Horton when Brett drew a leadoff walk, moved to second on a balk, then scored on White’s double. Two outs later, White scored on Biancalana’s single to cap the scoring.
as dayton moore once said, pitching is the currency of baseball. which is perfect bc the kansas city royals are the cryptocurrency of baseball
