Kansas City Royals Kansas City Tickets

For baseball fans this is the best time to be a part of 'America's favorite past time'. As the business end of the MLB season nears, teams are making extra efforts to collect as many victories as possible to make it to the post season. Now you can watch one of the most exciting clubs in the league as they play at home at the famous Kauffman Stadium. This is your chance to catch the Kansas City Royals in action.

The Royals were included in the league as an expansion team in 1969. It was due to the efforts of local businessman Ewing Kauffman that the city was given a baseball team. As an acknowledgement of his services, the home ground of the Royals is named after him. Along with Stuart Symington, a politician from Missouri, Kauffman felt the need for a baseball team after their previous major league team relocated to Oakland and became the famous Oakland Athletics.

Less than a decade after their creation, the Royals became perennial playoff contenders, appearing in the latter stages seven times from 1976 till 1985. Coincidentally 1985 was also the high point for the club as it won not only the American League pennant but also the World Series championship.

After a barren stretch of 28 years, the Royals made it to the World Series again last year where they lost to the eventual champions, the San Francisco Giants. There are huge hopes that this year the club will be able to clear the final hurdle and bring home their second championship; buy Kansas City Royals Kansas City tickets to find out.
