But, let's rewind just a bit. Simply for the sake of documentation.
This past Saturday Scott and I made the 6.5 hour drive to San Francisco to watch Game 4.
When we arrived to AT&T Park it was impossible to ignore the energy and electricity surrounding the entire place. It was as if the stadium had come alive, and we were there, in the midst of it all, experiencing it.
I wanted so badly to join that blue group. It would have been even more magical to be surrounded by fellow Royals fans.
The actual game… Well, it was pretty great through the fourth inning, when we were leading 4-0. Then, it kind of all went to Hell in a hand basket. Without going into all the agonizing details, we watched as the 4-0 lead was blown, and the final score was Royals - 4 Giants - 11. Ouch.
Clearly the end score wasn't what we had hoped it would be. BUT, words cannot express what it was like to be there to experience, be apart of, the World Series.

| See the faint rainbow in the bay (left third of the picture)? I think it's a sign. We won't be flooded with 29 more years of Royals heartache and World Series-less seasons. |
Though our Boys in Blue fell to the Giants last night in Game 7, the Royals certainly did something this entire season - not just Games 1-7 of the Series - that hasn't been done in 29 years; they brought the love of baseball back to Kansas City and back to the loyal fans.
To the Royals, thank you so much for a phenomenal season. We can wait to see what 2015 brings!

that section of Royal Blue were Royals employees sent by the Royals - cool huh?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great season - and what an emotional ride.
Loyal blue until the end.
That is so awesome you got to be there for one of the games! Regardless if they didn't win the World Series they got there and made it all the way to game 7...after 29 years. Pretty sweet!!
ReplyDeleteLove this. What a great World Series! So awesome that you got to attend!
ReplyDeleteSeriously, last night's game was AMAZING. I wanted so badly to text you every time something happened but I refrained :) The last inning was the best when the Royals hit the ball and I found myself yelling more than Seth. Haha. I have never wanted someone to win more than right then. They played amazing baseball all season, especially in the end, and I can see a very promising next season for them!
ReplyDeleteNext time the Royals are in town, we meet at Angels stadium (which rumor has it might be moving RIGHT next to my house - yay? I'm still undecided about that one)!!!
Your pictures are awesome! I never knew where the stadium was.. what a location!! That view is amazing! It was crazy here after the game last night, but we were all rooting for the Royals here! Glad you guys had a good time though!
ReplyDeleteThat rainbow, how cool!!!! And totally awesome to watch the game AND the bay at the same time!
ReplyDeleteLove that you got to be there for one of the games!!! :)
ReplyDeleteso great. I guess I'm a fan now because living here during this post season has been great! Dave took the kids to the K during Game 6. They didn't have tickets to the game, but they were able to get pretty close and see some and definitely hear! I didn't want to go because I didn't think it would be worth it, but it sounds like it really was cool!
ReplyDeleteI almost cried Wednesday night when they lost. I thought for sure they would win the series since they were at home. I love how it brought the city together again, and we showed the country how great the city can be.
ReplyDeleteI have always thought that, that stadium must be insanely gorgeous. Your pics definitely confirmed that. Such an awesome memory.
