It’s in the record books. On Friday evening the Kansas City Royals qualified for MLB postseason play for the first time since the 2015 season. One of the franchise’s all-time best, Willie Mays Aikens, is feeling like a proud father.
What a great story for the Royals getting to extend their season into October. With the club going home after the 2023 season with an embarrassing 56–106 record and turning things around to the tune of 85–75, with two games left on the schedule just a season later, this is exhilarating news for all of MLB.
