The Royals' journey back to the Postseason! | How They Got There (2024 Royals)

[@patrickstovall2262]

The fact that the royals have the greatest comeback season ever is absolutely insane. They lost 106 games last year, and now they are going back to the postseason for the first time since they won the world series in 2015. This makes me incredibly happy

[@marshalbaek5580]

That's cool.

[@Michael-sb8jf]

Call me a bad fan, pessimistic maybe, but going into the season I was thinking 70 wins was the ceiling Oh how I was wrong. Im glad I was wrong

[@icuicyboygaming3634]

I wasn’t sure what to expect from them this year very proud of them

[@lightingbolt8148]

[@Sh3ba5843]

I’m actually crying. My father sent me a KC coozie cup in 2015 in the mail with a letter I still have, congratulating me and telling me just enjoy it no matter the result, he passed away that year from pancreatic cancer, I have the coozie and letter on the shelf with all my pictures with him. I wish he was here. He brought me to my first baseball game when I was 8 to Fenway park, and I saw George Brett and Yaz, I chose Brett and been a lifelong fan from RI, he brought me to my first game I still have the ticket stub and i tucked the second stub in his pocket at his wake. I just needed to get this off my chest, happy and sad. Go Royals!!!

Bobby Witt Jr’s HOF season ends with a trip to the playoffs!

[@GOCAPSDMV]

Hof is a bit bold don’t you think?

[@Yourmomshouse223]

@@GOCAPSDMVnot really. He’s only 24 and he’s already done things like first short stop of all time to hit 30 homers back to back with 200 hits etc. probably will have more career multi hit games then strikeouts etc.

[@wiltchamberlainisthegoat13]

@@GOCAPSDMV He’s obviously got a long way to go, but Bobby Witt clearly is one of the Top 5 players in MLB. If he keeps having seasons similar to the last 2 seasons, Bobby will definitely be set on a course for Cooperstown. He looks to have George Brett level talent. He’s actually better than Brett at this juncture in his career.

Who would have thought that the only team representing Missouri in the post season would be kc before the season started? This guy! I have state pride so even though I’m in saint louis the royals are my 2nd favorite ❤. It’s good they got that losing skid out of the way, obviously they ain’t the best team but the best team barely wins. I’ve seen so many negativity during that skid and I was like bro I’m from saint louis, we know it ain’t over until it’s over more than anyone and I also pointed out the chiefs making all those 2nd half comebacks in the playoffs and winning it all. Last year I had Texas making a run before the season started and when we collapsed and traded Monty to them I said they would win. I actually had kc winning the division and I wasn’t being biased, I just didn’t think the tribe would play as well as they did. also bobby witt liked this comment on facebook and its his official fb page like wow thank you mr witt now go bring it home with the boys!
