If Billy Beane gets a movie for never winning anything, this Royals team has to have one right?

Most come from behind wins in history? Disney is already assembling its team to negotiate the rights.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

Lol, I hope somehow they Royals just field a AAA roster, and have the actual players just walk around handing out beer to fans

Is this the best team to ever play the game of baseball?  I think it might be.

NEW YORK — Lock the Kansas City Royals in the garage and leave the car running. They will emerge tomorrow, squint into the sun and smile. They will fly their plane directly into a mountainside, drive their bus off a cliff. But it’s nothing more than a cartoon. When the dust clears, there they are, wiping themselves off, exchanging high-fives, smiling.

Their defining, back-from-the-brink characteristic would be laughable if the results weren’t so real. On Sunday night, for the third time in this World Series, they trailed the New York Mets in the eighth inning or later. Their attitude, basically: Whatever, man. And so they are champions.

The Royals won their first World Series championship in 30 years because they scored two runs off Mets ace Matt Harvey in the ninth — who, the debate in Queens will rage, perhaps should have been removed to start the inning. They got the decisive run in this 7-2 victory in Game 5 when a backup middle infielder named Christian Colon — a hero of the 2014 wild-card game who had nary a postseason plate appearance this fall — singled in pinch runner Jarrod Dyson in the 12th for the lead run.

How Royals, to win the World Series using two players no one at Citi Field had heard of. How Royals, to come back and win — for the eighth time in their 11 postseason victories. How Royals, to celebrate a year after they left the tying run in the seventh game of the World Series stranded 90 feet from home, a stunned crowd of 44,859 with plenty to chew on for, oh, the next generation or so. Kansas City won the series four games to one, which doesn’t begin to bring justice to how it played out.

#HowRoyals. Feels good, guys.

Remember both. This one is better.
Mods, can you just lock everything except this thread for 48 hours? I don't want anyone wasting time in other threads when they should be posting in here.

Almost forgot I put $5 on KC to win the AL Pennant and the WS in Vegas this spring. Should have bet more.
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.
