I’m English. I’m a die-hard Gooner. 47 years old. I started doing shift work in 2001, and got into baseball working nights. I had to pick a team and I picked the Royals coz they were the worst team out there and us Brits love an underdog. I watched the 100 loss seasons, saw this team grow, died a little bit when the giants edged us the year before. And Despite Arsenal having their best period ever and winning all sorts of shit throughout the early 2000s, this is the best I’ve ever felt watching sport. I was swapping my day shifts for night shifts throughout the playoffs just so I could stream the games. And I was in my 40s behaving like a f’kin fanboy. F’kin tears man.. just the best... and I really don’t mind at all that The Royals are back in 2019 where I found them in 2001, because THIS happened. Thanks for this video Brad. Must be 20 times I’ve watched it. RIP ACE.
I have never seen any sports team in history like the Royals they were a new breed, they played fun baseball. Everyone on the team contributed to this world series.
My dad & I watched the team in 1985 when I was one year old....I was lucky at 31 to hold my one year old son also and enjoy this, hearing the booms and watching the fireworks over our house after they won this past year was something I will always remember! Thank you.......Forever Royal....Forever Grateful!
+rjonzen34 Thank you for sharing that story with me. It is awesome to see that you got to spend it with your son :) Was a moment that I will never forget!
Sucks we couldn’t afford to keep the whole team. Sold the farm for a 2-3 year run. It was a blast. LoCain,Hoz,Moose,Zobrist,Escobar,Wade,Cueto,Perez,Orlando,Gordon,ACE and the whole gang. The Sandlot boys! They loved each other and they loved playing team baseball, and everyone of them believed in each other. Hope it’s not as long of a WS drought to get back to the big one. They made baseball in KC fun again. Thanks for everything boys!
Joe O'Malley I’m part of The Kansas City family. I became a full Chiefs fan ever since the Rams went back to LA! The chiefs are my football team and the Royals are my baseball team when they’re not facing the Cardinals.
Dean Routh I’m so sorry for your loss losing a parent I know is hard hopefully she was smiling it was gods plan for her it benifited you in some apparent reason that you may or may not know
I was at the A's sudden death game in 2014. Best playoff game of all time. I nearly welled up when they won it all though. Never thought I'd see the Royals win b2b pennants and a WS and the Chiefs hosting 4 straight AFCCG and winning a SB in my lifetime let alone in a span of 5yrs.
Same here man, hoping one day the Royals can bring another one home. I was absolutely ecstatic when the Chiefs won the Lombardi, but something about that 2015 run was simply magic.
Put on my Royals championship shirt this morning during NFL finals games, go figure. And then hearing the news about Ace. Sad day. But will remember this fastball throwing, gritty young Champion this spring when the sun shines a little less. Thanks for the joy you brought to KC fans everywhere! Will be remembered now forever! Rest good our little brother, Yordano "Ace" Ventura. Peace!
Yeah true I wish they won in 2014 so both chiefs and royals would’ve beaten a San Fran team in finals and than a year later lose to a team that didn’t make the playoffs the year before Bucs and Mets
I went to Game 7 of the 2014 World Series. I’m a Royals fan who grew up in Kansas City. I remember going to work the next day and it was relatively quiet around town. I remember sitting there thinking that the Royals were literally just a big play or two away from changing the entire vibe of the city. The great thing is they came back and won it all the next year, and afterward the city was invigorated. Going to the parade was an experience I’ll never forget. I didn’t fully understand how big of a difference there was between winning and losing the World Series until witnessing those two seasons.
This is the reason people love sports. I'm not by any means a "sports fan." I love the Royals, but I don't watch baseball that much, but watching these games was amazing. The comeback, the excitement, all amazing. It's what people who call sports boring always forget about.
I was also at game 7 in 2014 it broke my heart when we lost, on the way out of the stadium I was sobbing (in middle school at the time) and some dude gave me a bag of confetti and said bring it back next year when we take it all, I did just that.
9 years later we are looking eerily similar to the 2014 team..playoff bound and can surprise everyone and make a deep run..next season though they will be even better just like 15
I actually felt sorry for the Mets and their fans. I had seen the Royals play many times that season and knew they were going to win. Just some kinda magic there.
Giant's fan here. There wasn't 2 more deserving teams to be in the 2014 series. The Royals outscored the Giants overall and it took a unbelievable performance by Bumgarner to secure the series. I am very happy the Royals won it all in 2015 and fitting being 30 years after George Brett and company did it. Congratulations, Kansas City Royals.
Bumgarner broke our hearts, but that was still a fun postseason. My brother and I were at Kauffman and watched them sweep Baltimore flr the Pennant. The Team of Dynasty vs. The Team of Destiny going down to the wire. I don't think the Royals would have gone back in 2015 if it weren't for 2014's heartbreak. They were on a mission to prove everyone wrong.
IVe probably watched this video 10+ times, cant get enough of my Royals. Hopefully I dont have to wait another 30 years to see them win another. Gonna miss this team. I wish we would of never traded Wade Davis, once we had the lead I knew the game was over once he took over. During their run even when we were behind I always had faith they would somehow come back and win the game.
Yeah, the Davis trade...uhh...didn't like it, and the Cubs won that trade big time. Still, I'm hoping the Royals can channel some 2014 or 2015 magic to at least get a wild card. Although, it is quite a race right now.
Oh my gosh. I remember screaming in pure joy when this happened. I didn’t live in Kansas at the time but I grew up in Olathe Kansas. I moved in 2013 because of my parents job and then suffered that loss in 2014 then get redeemed in 2015. It felt so great!!
And congrats to him frankly. I'm glad he was able to get the proper recognition for such an amazing feat (2 rings with 2 diff teams back to back) Joe Maddon specifically wanted him and heavily endorsed him to Theo to mate sure and get him before that championship season for cubs. He had success with him in Tampa going to world series and according to Maddon he will be the next phenom "player to manager" right after retirement. I love players like Zobrist who obviously have very high baseball acumens and are very valuable to their teams because even though they won't 'wow' anyone with huge stats in one area but they'll be consistently good in many areas for a while. To be the leadoff hitter on a team like the '16 cubs with those hitters, be extremely productive and especially reliable with the OPS he had and at his age was nothing short of amazing. Can't wait to see the guy manage. I think guys like Cora, Girardi, Matheny, Kapler, Counsel and soon Zobrist is the new wave of young managers fresh out of the league and how the game is played now vs the older type guy who's Benn around to 50 places and in his late 40s before given a chance
No matter what team you root for, if your team hasnt been relevant for so long, winning a championship is worth all the suffering that you went thru for so long. If you have been spoiled with constantly championship appearances or titles, you would not understand. Thank you 2015 kc royals!
Game 4 of the ALDS will be etched in my memory forever. If there was a game that defined the Royals…this game would be high on that list for this team. KEEP THE LINE MOVING.
I was in a restaurant near San Antonio visiting wife’s family keeping track of the game on my phone during that 8th inning. None of us could believe what I kept reporting as the Royals kept hitting and kept scoring runs. I was giddy. They were not. Ha!
This might be one of the greatest pure team efforts through basically 2 seasons of any sport ever, nobody just trying to yank homers every play. Every person down the order got hits and kept it moving it was so much more exciting than strikeout/hr. Defense and pitching was amazing and played their home field perfectly. Love this team rip ace ventura
Yes!! I grew up in KC, I spent more time in Kauffman and Arrowhead than I did at home. I grew up in that parking lot and I always get chills remembering where we came from.
I watched this and nearly 10 years later I still get a little teary-eyed. I just wish Brad would have shown Wade Davis masterful pitching versus Toronto in that ninth inning. A thing of beauty.
This is by the far the best 2015 Royals Tribute made. Incredible job with the editing, and the selection of dramatic music. Great work!! Have saved this to my personal collection and will be showing this to my kids and grand kids one day. Thank you!
Will we see this again in our lifetime? Maybe, but it won't be with this special group. RIP Ace. Goodbye Moose and Hoz and Cain. Thanks Zobrist! It was so much fun.
This was fun to watch. I'm a Tigers fan, but I've always the world of the Royals when theyrepresented our division and league in the post-season. Bravo, KC!
I’m watching this in 2021 and this made me tear up a bit. Brings back so many emotions, man. This was such a fun series. Too bad that instead of giving the royals credit, fans only remember this year as the year the Cubs were supposed to win. Thanks, back to the future!
@@boogitybear2283 and even better, the movie was released on the same day game 6 was played. The game where everything looked over for KC but Dane Iorg hit an epic game saving single to score 2 runs.
@@Flashynfl in the second movie, they sorta made a prediction that the Cubs would win the World Series, so instead and giving the royals credit, people just remember the Cubs prediction
I have watched this video at least once a week since Wade painted that inside corner. Thank you. This captures the run better than any video out there. Seriously Brad + Team, THANK YOU.
I'm a little league coach in kansas city after our boys in blue made it to the world series in 14 and winning it in 15 inspired a new generation of baseball players and fans thanks for the memories guys proud to be from kc!
This is why running and steals are still important. It puts pressure on the defense and frequently causes them to make mistakes. Eventually some team will realize this again and use it to counter act the HR or K mindset.
This Royals group was absolutely amazing. I cannot remember ever enjoying watching a team play this game as much as I enjoyed watching this team. I would put this team up against any team in the history of MLB and what ever team you wanted to throw at them, at the very least the other historically significanly great team would know they're going to be in a fight. What didn't this team do in their run. Pure BELIEF and magic. One of the MOST entertaining great teams ever ! Great great video BTW, thank you to Hensen Productions.
The Royals were so much fun to watch in the World Series the past two years. I mean, they learned something in 2014 about how to win games, and show resiliency, and not give up. Even though they fell short, they battled ALL SERIES LONG. In 2015, that offense was KILLING fastballs all over the please all year long, including the postseason. I didn't see a lot of strikeouts, that's for sure. And they were king of the comebacks. Royals just kept coming, and coming, and coming, and would never give up. Really enjoyed watching this team in 2015. I look forward to watching this team again in 2016.
+Derek Mathews That's why they were labeled the comeback kids. I agree this team was fun to watch for the past two seasons. They were 90 feet last season away from tieing it in game 7 of the World Series. They used that to fuel them to do whatever it takes and overcome every obstacle to achieve there ultimate goal. The heart in this team is infectious and amazing to watch. I can't wait to see what they do in 2016!
Coming from a braves fan here, I remember watching their postseason run in 2014 and 2015. There was something special about those teams. They were scrappy, told they weren’t good enough, “one year wonders”. They had the hunger that drives teams and players to success.
Sure does. I was at Power & Light for almost every game that post season, including game 5. The feeling was incredible. The vibes for the whole 2015 season, the whole area was blue. It was amazing
As a rangers fan, always loved when the Royals are doing well. I remember their postseason runs in 2014 and 2015 were so fun to watch. I went to a game at Kaufman in 2017 and the fans were awesome and it was a great ballpark to watch a ballgame.
You know, I feel the same about the Rangers. I was pulling for you guys so much in 2010 and 2011. To this day, I still cannot believe how incredibly lucky the Cardinals were in 2011.
First off, I love the video. I was in high school during their playoff run and remember vividly the excitement going throughout the halls after each win. Ventura was my favorite player and I miss him dearly. BUT, what really got me to write this comment is The Last Samurai soundtrack in the background!! Mad respect 🫡 that’s one of my favorite movies! There’s a bunch of emotional songs in there and it pairs well with the overarching emotion in the video.
It was one of those moments where everyone continues to ask: Where were you when the Royals brought it back home after 30 years of heartbreak? Where were you when Wade Davis made that final punchout of the 2015 World Series? Where were you when the Royals made it the final 90 feet? And what did you do to celebrate it? My answer: I was at home, sitting on the couch in a dimly lit living room when they did it. And what I did to celebrate was to simply raise my fists in not just triumph...but relief. Relief in that we had exorcised the demons of defeat and that we had finally-albeit briefly-got to see what it was like from the mountaintop after walking through 30 years of darkness and despair. So to the boys who helped to bring it back home: Thanks for the memories...we are forever grateful for what you did.
@@lowden7268This year’s Diamondbacks team in 2023 reminds me so much of this Royals team, the grit they have and the way they play are so similar to each other. Average in home runs but still having their small ball, a mixture of old and new.
Every year is a new year. Completely different from the previous year and even years before that. Absolutely nothing short of amazing the way they came back vs a Houston team that began to climb towards peaking by starting building back in the beginning of the decade the right way-an organic way- towards becoming a team capable of winning several world championships in a row (as evident by their success since and currently) plus their comebacks in the ALCS just amazing. But with that all being said the Royals were in the world series the year before this and almost won so they got their taste and they had the experience. That also helps. Sucks to see them gutted now with just a couple of faces left after 4 years and now be amongst the league's worst again. Glad to see a once proud franchise get back to the top again if only for a short while. Great video
Fantastic team effort all the way. Said the Announcer: "They just keep finding ways!" Look at their dirty uniforms. Shows the way they played ... with determination, grit and heart.
I completely agree. After the announcer went bonkers on Corrieas second homer, he redeemed himself with this call. But then Hosmer's homer in the 9th to seal it was another dud. Then he made up for it with Morales's homer 2 days later to seal it.....
at the 8:30 mark, Bautista get's a ball down the right field line and immediately turns and throws to second without looking at the runner going to third, they put that in their mind castle for the next opportunity and Cain "he can fly" made them pay later in the series! love it!
Whenever I was 11 the Royals were down by 5 and it was like the bottom of the 7th and I had just gotten into baseball and I said to my dad “the Royals won’t come back, they’re going to lose” and my dad said “you don’t know what the Royals can do” and ever since then I always believed that the Royals would win even if they were down by 10
HUGE Mets fan here. We had a chance to win EVERY game of the series and blew every one. I guess the 2015 royals were better than the 2015 Mets! Well played and I hope the Mets will win the World Series sometime soon!
It's 2021 and it still gives me goosebumps!! I was blessed to be able to go to a few playoff games in KC and I'll never forget it- told my husband you can't put a price on history... There's no place like home...No fans like ours... No stadiums like Kaufman,Arrowhead, Sporting KC, Allen Field House and I guess I'll include KSU/MU too lol #comebackkids #raisedroyal
As a Royals fan watching the 2023 team. It is evident that the team has talent like Bobby Witt Jr, Vinnie Pasquantino, MJ Melendez, and more talent in the minors. What these guys lack though is the heart and the desire to win at all costs. The "keep the line moving" mentality, picking up the pitching when it's bad or the pitching picking up the hitting when it's bad. I hope we can get back to consistently winning baseball, especially in an era where small-market teams are always at the deficit of big markets who can buy players.
I was 8 at the time and now I’m 13 but I remember being in school during the Astros series and we asked our teacher the score of game 4. She said she we were down a lot. When I got home for the end it was one the most exciting endings for me. A month later I get to see my team when their first World Series in years. Thanks Royals for a great team that will never be forgotten!
Who else is watching this during quarantine and remembering you sitting on the couch watching the Royals make history.
Me too
Those were the days now we suck
Lol
Yeah
Imagine not being at every 2014 & ‘15 home playoff game. Imagine not being at game 5.
Dude yes. Remember it like it was yesterday. Best baseball year of my life

Thanks for this video Brad. Must be 20 times I’ve watched it. RIP ACE.
RIP Yordono Ventura. Glad he was able to be part of this amazing run.
There will never be another team in the history of the game constructed how this one was. Go Royals
2014 and 2015 Royals were so much fun to watch.
I have never seen any sports team in history like the Royals they were a new breed, they played fun baseball. Everyone on the team contributed to this world series.
In 2014 I cried tears of sadness. In 2015 I cried tears of joy. The sun comes out tomorrow.
And thanks to 1 of the 2015 royals I got to see a dream come true in 2016 when my favorite team won it all. ( Ben zoborist )
Chris P and in 2019 you cry tears of annoyance 🙄😔
Since ya'll are now on track for another 100 loss season and have become organ donors for the Yankees and Red Sox, ya'll crying tears of despair? LoL
My dad & I watched the team in 1985 when I was one year old....I was lucky at 31 to hold my one year old son also and enjoy this, hearing the booms and watching the fireworks over our house after they won this past year was something I will always remember!

KC was electric these 2 years. Everywhere i went blue, and people were so enthusiastic. Thanks, Royals!
Now that the Royals are on the verge of another 100 loss season, the blue has vanished. That's what you call fair weather fans, dum dum!
It was like watching the movie major league in real life.... Except it was the royals and not the Indians
Royal's 2015....Chiefs 2020... I can die a happy man.
Yep me too only happy woman
For real! 😂

Chiefs 2020

Every major sport in MO won a championship this centry
Just need KU to win one
I'm Still watching in 2024!!!!
A Royals Fan since Birth in 74!!!!
Sucks we couldn’t afford to keep the whole team. Sold the farm for a 2-3 year run. It was a blast. LoCain,Hoz,Moose,Zobrist,Escobar,Wade,Cueto,Perez,Orlando,Gordon,ACE and the whole gang. The Sandlot boys! They loved each other and they loved playing team baseball, and everyone of them believed in each other. Hope it’s not as long of a WS drought to get back to the big one. They made baseball in KC fun again. Thanks for everything boys!
What a team. This video never gets old :) Reminds me a lot of this year's KC Chiefs with the comebacks and what not and overcoming.

Real one right here. Hardly see Chiefs stuff tied into Royals. I see you sir.
2015 Royals such an underrated Championship team
This was so magical. The best line ever THE ROYALS HAVE TIED IT IN THE 8TH. I can remember my dad and I jumping around like school girls
That moment always replays in my head it is so iconic for royals fans
My dad was going crazy when in the ninth of game five the Mets made a error and the game was tied

From a Toronto fan who watched the Series, One hell of a series and well played
T/U from Kansas !!
I watch this almost daily. Greatest day in baseball.
God damn, crying at work again.. gotta stop watching this...
RIP ACE...
This is beautiful, I can remember sitting in school while my ELA teacher says “y’all ok if we stop class and watch the Royals game”
Now the Royals are back in the playoffs!
Kansas City proud. We will forever love this group of players. Thank you for the memories and tears
The 2014 & 2015 Kansas City Royals were the greatest comeback teams in playoff history.
I'm a mets fan so I hate to admit this but yeah you are right
Yeah true
I wish they won in 2014 so both chiefs and royals would’ve beaten a San Fran team in finals and than a year later lose to a team that didn’t make the playoffs the year before Bucs and Mets

I watched this and nearly 10 years later I still get a little teary-eyed.
I just wish Brad would have shown Wade Davis masterful pitching versus Toronto in that ninth inning.
A thing of beauty.
Brings tears to my eyes everytime I watch it! Love me some Royals!!
Literally one of the greatest things I have watched in sports. From a KC resident since birth in 1980. Great video. Glad baseball is back.
Ty I really appreciate it!
Its 2022 and i still watch this video and i still cheer!!! LETS GO ROYALS
I try to watch it at least once a week. Memory I'll never forget.
because real fans do rewatch it. I still watch 2010, 2012 and 2014.
❤❤❤❤ I watch it every 2 weeks or so been a Royals fan since 1970 will always be a forever Royal an Chiefs fan
I so miss this group!
Yup. Should have stayed together just for the fact that they accomplished this great thing. Forever Royal! ☺
Its because royals dont have money
We will have a better team in a few years... but I still miss Hosmer and moose.... forever Royal💙💛😀
Devin Cooley I miss Cain too
I want Moose, Cain, and Hosmer back!
very true but when people ask hos and moose who they won a WS with #foreverroyal
And Cain
Thanks for everything we’re gonna miss you Alex enjoy retirement forever Royal 👑
Why do you have a Red Sox logo as your profile.
@@kadensmith3894 just like the Red Sox and the royals 🤷🏼♂️
@@sidneystewart5594 Ok just found it odd.
This is by the far the best 2015 Royals Tribute made. Incredible job with the editing, and the selection of dramatic music. Great work!! Have saved this to my personal collection and will be showing this to my kids and grand kids one day. Thank you!
+C Michael Wow what an amazing comment you left. Thank you for your kind words. That made my week I am glad you enjoyed the video!
Hard to believe this was almost 10 years ago. Time flies when you're older.
almost 10 years ago would be next year. . It's been almost 9 years
Will we see this again in our lifetime? Maybe, but it won't be with this special group.
RIP Ace. Goodbye Moose and Hoz and Cain. Thanks Zobrist! It was so much fun.
Well moose is still here for now at least
The 2015 Kansas City Royals were the best Royals team ever. I say that with a lot of respect given to the 2014, 1985, 1980, 1977 Royals.
probably the best small ball team ever. this was incredible
This was fun to watch. I'm a Tigers fan, but I've always the world of the Royals when theyrepresented our division and league in the post-season. Bravo, KC!
I’m watching this in 2021 and this made me tear up a bit. Brings back so many emotions, man. This was such a fun series. Too bad that instead of giving the royals credit, fans only remember this year as the year the Cubs were supposed to win. Thanks, back to the future!
What’s crazy about Back To The Future, the first movie was made in 1985; the year the Royals won their first!
@@boogitybear2283 and even better, the movie was released on the same day game 6 was played. The game where everything looked over for KC but Dane Iorg hit an epic game saving single to score 2 runs.
Me to
Wait wdym by back to the future?
@@Flashynfl in the second movie, they sorta made a prediction that the Cubs would win the World Series, so instead and giving the royals credit, people just remember the Cubs prediction
It gives me chills every time I watch this video. We probably won't make it this year, but last year was so fun to watch.
Thank you :)
This still makes me cry everytime. Here again in a way too say “so long partner” to Hosmer
I’m so happy the 2015 Royals won the World Series however the 2014 Kansas City Royals will forever be my all-time favorite.
@@boogitybear2283 I can get that, all of them deserve a ring honestly it’s so hard
I have watched this video at least once a week since Wade painted that inside corner. Thank you. This captures the run better than any video out there. Seriously Brad + Team, THANK YOU.
crazy how big there comeback rally's are
King Michael they remind me of the Yankees now
Chiefs sort of did it too. Kansas city is all about comebacks in the post season
I'm a little league coach in kansas city after our boys in blue made it to the world series in 14 and winning it in 15 inspired a new generation of baseball players and fans thanks for the memories guys proud to be from kc!
"Now Cain coming to the plate. ROYALS LEAD. HE CAN FLY!" Love it
That was an awesome moment!
Will never forget that Game 4 of ALDS.
Man this 2014 and 2015 Royals were so underrated and so exciting to watch. Wish I still remembered watching some of these games
Gg
same
This is why running and steals are still important. It puts pressure on the defense and frequently causes them to make mistakes. Eventually some team will realize this again and use it to counter act the HR or K mindset.
I am a royals fan and I'm watching this on UA-cam and smiling the hole time
This Royals group was absolutely amazing. I cannot remember ever enjoying watching a team play this game as much as I enjoyed watching this team. I would put this team up against any team in the history of MLB and what ever team you wanted to throw at them, at the very least the other historically significanly great team would know they're going to be in a fight. What didn't this team do in their run. Pure BELIEF and magic. One of the MOST entertaining great teams ever ! Great great video BTW, thank you to Hensen Productions.
I miss 2015 so bad
Just rewatched this. Well done. Still brings a tear to my eye when the final out is recorded.
Thomas Cahill me too
Not even a royal fan and this makes me emotional and gives me chills (giant fan)
That season was absolutely magical
Where is the documentary? lol The chemistry this team had was unlike anything I've seen before.
Thank you Bradley. Thank you to the Kansas City Royals and their fans for a great year of baseball.
Oggi7777 i’m a royals fan just realizing how good we really were and how now we will lose 90+ games this year but hey the chiefs won lol
Watching during quarantine this shit gives me chills
Watching in 24 hoping you can make a sequel to this with this group! We've got a shot!
The 2014-15 season was the best Royals series ever
The Royals were so much fun to watch in the World Series the past two years. I mean, they learned something in 2014 about how to win games, and show resiliency, and not give up. Even though they fell short, they battled ALL SERIES LONG. In 2015, that offense was KILLING fastballs all over the please all year long, including the postseason. I didn't see a lot of strikeouts, that's for sure. And they were king of the comebacks. Royals just kept coming, and coming, and coming, and would never give up. Really enjoyed watching this team in 2015. I look forward to watching this team again in 2016.
+Derek Mathews That's why they were labeled the comeback kids. I agree this team was fun to watch for the past two seasons. They were 90 feet last season away from tieing it in game 7 of the World Series. They used that to fuel them to do whatever it takes and overcome every obstacle to achieve there ultimate goal. The heart in this team is infectious and amazing to watch. I can't wait to see what they do in 2016!
one of the best teams kansas city has ever had. great memories from this royals team
Coming from a braves fan here, I remember watching their postseason run in 2014 and 2015. There was something special about those teams. They were scrappy, told they weren’t good enough, “one year wonders”. They had the hunger that drives teams and players to success.
That team and city went thru so much that year, yet persevered, and bound and determined to finish what they started.
Unbelievable how the 2014 Royals and 2015 Royals put the ball into play, and kept the line moving. I will throw in the stolen bases too.
yeah, but notice they don't show the kc defecits much...
there weren't any, LOL
Hell, in 2014 they weren't supposed to make the WS, even the Postseason, they got really lucky that year.
Every single player on that team had the clutch gene. They were all main characters.
I’ve watched this whole video from start to finish about 10-15 times and it just never gets old!!! “Keep the line moving”
and keep the video rolling!!!!
Bro this video gives me chills every time
Sure does. I was at Power & Light for almost every game that post season, including game 5. The feeling was incredible. The vibes for the whole 2015 season, the whole area was blue. It was amazing
As a rangers fan, always loved when the Royals are doing well. I remember their postseason runs in 2014 and 2015 were so fun to watch. I went to a game at Kaufman in 2017 and the fans were awesome and it was a great ballpark to watch a ballgame.
You know, I feel the same about the Rangers. I was pulling for you guys so much in 2010 and 2011. To this day, I still cannot believe how incredibly lucky the Cardinals were in 2011.
Matt Harvey, the epitome of the phrase, You either die a hero or live just long enough to become the villain
First off, I love the video. I was in high school during their playoff run and remember vividly the excitement going throughout the halls after each win. Ventura was my favorite player and I miss him dearly. BUT, what really got me to write this comment is The Last Samurai soundtrack in the background!! Mad respect 🫡 that’s one of my favorite movies! There’s a bunch of emotional songs in there and it pairs well with the overarching emotion in the video.
It was one of those moments where everyone continues to ask: Where were you when the Royals brought it back home after 30 years of heartbreak? Where were you when Wade Davis made that final punchout of the 2015 World Series? Where were you when the Royals made it the final 90 feet? And what did you do to celebrate it?
My answer: I was at home, sitting on the couch in a dimly lit living room when they did it. And what I did to celebrate was to simply raise my fists in not just triumph...but relief. Relief in that we had exorcised the demons of defeat and that we had finally-albeit briefly-got to see what it was like from the mountaintop after walking through 30 years of darkness and despair.
So to the boys who helped to bring it back home: Thanks for the memories...we are forever grateful for what you did.
I’ve watched this at least 5 times
And that’s ok sir
Lol I have watched it at least 10 wishing the Royals would do it again
Yep...Twas a good few years for KC.....I will watch this every year...this is baseball, small ball....speed kills. @@bigbearmerriott9056
@@lowden7268This year’s Diamondbacks team in 2023 reminds me so much of this Royals team, the grit they have and the way they play are so similar to each other. Average in home runs but still having their small ball, a mixture of old and new.
Altuve after game 5: Guys! I just got a crazy idea!
😂💀
Every year is a new year. Completely different from the previous year and even years before that. Absolutely nothing short of amazing the way they came back vs a Houston team that began to climb towards peaking by starting building back in the beginning of the decade the right way-an organic way- towards becoming a team capable of winning several world championships in a row (as evident by their success since and currently) plus their comebacks in the ALCS just amazing.
But with that all being said the Royals were in the world series the year before this and almost won so they got their taste and they had the experience. That also helps. Sucks to see them gutted now with just a couple of faces left after 4 years and now be amongst the league's worst again. Glad to see a once proud franchise get back to the top again if only for a short while. Great video
Fantastic team effort all the way. Said the Announcer: "They just keep finding ways!" Look at their dirty uniforms. Shows the way they played ... with determination, grit and heart.
Couldn't of said it better I am glad you enjoyed it :)
9 years later… we’re back🥲
The "Kansas City has tied it in the eigth!!!" gives me chills everytime!
I completely agree. After the announcer went bonkers on Corrieas second homer, he redeemed himself with this call. But then Hosmer's homer in the 9th to seal it was another dud. Then he made up for it with Morales's homer 2 days later to seal it.....
at the 8:30 mark, Bautista get's a ball down the right field line and immediately turns and throws to second without looking at the runner going to third, they put that in their mind castle for the next opportunity and Cain "he can fly" made them pay later in the series! love it!
Whenever I was 11 the Royals were down by 5 and it was like the bottom of the 7th and I had just gotten into baseball and I said to my dad “the Royals won’t come back, they’re going to lose” and my dad said “you don’t know what the Royals can do” and ever since then I always believed that the Royals would win even if they were down by 10
HUGE Mets fan here. We had a chance to win EVERY game of the series and blew every one. I guess the 2015 royals were better than the 2015 Mets! Well played and I hope the Mets will win the World Series sometime soon!
We appreciate you being fair
Never the Yankees have always been ontop
TheCoolGuy Gamer You guys have Manager Carlos Beltran
I love the irony of you using a track from The Dark Knight film soundtrack from 8:54 to 14:07. Masterfully done, sir.
It's 2021 and it still gives me goosebumps!! I was blessed to be able to go to a few playoff games in KC and I'll never forget it- told my husband you can't put a price on history... There's no place like home...No fans like ours... No stadiums like Kaufman,Arrowhead, Sporting KC, Allen Field House and I guess I'll include KSU/MU too lol
#comebackkids #raisedroyal
As a Royals fan watching the 2023 team. It is evident that the team has talent like Bobby Witt Jr, Vinnie Pasquantino, MJ Melendez, and more talent in the minors. What these guys lack though is the heart and the desire to win at all costs. The "keep the line moving" mentality, picking up the pitching when it's bad or the pitching picking up the hitting when it's bad. I hope we can get back to consistently winning baseball, especially in an era where small-market teams are always at the deficit of big markets who can buy players.
I was 8 at the time and now I’m 13 but I remember being in school during the Astros series and we asked our teacher the score of game 4. She said she we were down a lot. When I got home for the end it was one the most exciting endings for me. A month later I get to see my team when their first World Series in years. Thanks Royals for a great team that will never be forgotten!
