However, one vision outweighs all others: the boys in blue… the Kansas City Royals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Kansas City Royals, an expansion club in the American League in 1969, struggled during their early existence. It didn't take long, however, before the Royals established themselves as one of the most successful franchises in baseball. That success culminated with the winning of the 1985 World Series. Since 1969, the Royals have developed great players that have had fun. Along the way, they also have developed a winning tradition. Although the Royals have received the \"small-market\" tag in recent years, the organization still boasts a proud heritage. In this reissue of \u003ci\u003eTales from the Kansas City Royals Dugout\u003c\/i\u003e, longtime Royals radio broadcaster Denny Matthews relives the club’s great moments and proud tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSit back and enjoy never-before-told anecdotes, including from the team’s great rivalries with the New York Yankees, Oakland A’s, and the remarkable players who have helped form the legend of the Kansas City Royals.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSkyhorse Publishing, as well as our Sports Publishing imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in sports—books about baseball, pro football, college football, pro and college basketball, hockey, or soccer, we have a book about your sport or your team.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhether you are a New York Yankees fan or hail from Red Sox nation; whether you are a die-hard Green Bay Packers or Dallas Cowboys fan; whether you root for the Kentucky Wildcats, Louisville Cardinals, UCLA Bruins, or Kansas Jayhawks; whether you route for the Boston Bruins, Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens, or Los Angeles Kings; we have a book for you.
