Mmm, basebally goodness
The '''Kansas City Royals''' are a [[Major League Baseball]] team based in [[Kansas City, Missouri]]. They were founded in [[1969]], after the 1967 move of the [[Oakland Athletics|Kansas City Athletics]] to [[Oakland, California]] so enraged [[Missouri]]'s then-[[United States Senate|U.S. Sentator]] [[Stuart Symington]] that he threatened to revoke MLB's [[antitrust]] exemption. Since their founding, they have been part of the [[American League]], and are currently part of the central division.
The Royals have been based in [[Kauffman Stadium]] since [[1973]], although Kauffman Stadium was named "Royals Stadium" until 1993. Previously, they were based in [[Municipal Stadium]].
The Royals went to the [[World Series]] in [[1980 World Series|1980]], where they were defeated 4-2 by the [[Philadephia Phillies]], and in [[1985 World Series|1985]], where they defeated the [[St. Louis Cardinals]] 4-3 in what was known as the "Show-Me Series" (after the Missouri state motto).
