One of the great moments of my childhood, though I watched on TV. The Royals were down 3-1 in both the ALCS (Toronto) and the World Series, but won games 5-6-7 in both.
After having made the playoffs 6 of the 9 prior seasons without winning the Series, it was a great relief.
Today In 1985: The Kansas City #Royals win their first World Series title, defeating the STLCards in 7 games! #MLB #Baseball #WorldSeries
Someone at @NFLonCBS needs to know that Bears-Falcons would get a MUCH larger audience in Seattle than Eagles-Panthers.

Ian Happ is an absolute legend….dude playing possibly his last game at Wrigley tossed a ball to the bleachers with $300 cash to buy fans beers
Spare a thought today for the 16 Huskies who lost their lives the day after 9/11, in a plane crash in Mexico, 25 years ago today.

Quaint to think that a UW baseball SID could have occasion to get to know the wife of a rival team's head coach, even a little, but Jean Riley was the sort of person that could make that happen. A loyal @BeaverBaseball stalwart and a very nice lady ...

UW and Utah State have played just 3 times in history, but that 1st game was way back in 1904.
UW took on the Aggies at Madison Park in Seattle on Oct. 22, 1904, led by stars Dode Brinker, Hunky Shaw & Fred McElmon, but without leader Enoch Bagshaw, the future UW coach ...

September 2, 1986: In his first MLB at-bat, Royals rookie @BoJackson beats out a grounder to second for a base hit.
Not very likely to matter, but shouldn't Hawai'i have gone for two there?
Up 27-23 with about 4:00 to go?
28-23 is no better than 27-23, but 29 makes it 6 points rather than 5 (or 4).
I have very fond memories of the old Pac-10 North baseball days in the early 1990s and trips to Coleman Field in Corvallis, where Darrell called games from a wooden shack that was nicer than UW's Graves Field press box! RIP to an OSU legend.

Nobody had homered on the first & last pitch their team saw of a game since 1957.
Now Pete Crow-Armstrong (Monday) & Randy Arozarena (Tonight) have both done it in the same week.
