Jonny Gomes delivers epic speech at Royals World Series parade despite not
After the parade, there was the rally at Union Station…listen to the highlights from George Brett, Ned Yost, Hosmer, Esky, Salvy, Moose, Edinson, Alex and Lorenzo. “It’s definitely a fun team to play for”.
When the Kansas City Royals celebrate their World Series victory with a parade on Tuesday, November 3, the 20 members of the Missouri Southern drumline will help entertain the crowds along the route. “Kansas City is the greatest town in the world, they have the best fans in the world and now you have the best team in the world”.
The KC Royals sealed up their World Series victory on Sunday night as they beat the New York Mets 7-2 in an extra inning game to decide the series.
The Royals beat the Mets 4-1 despite trailing in all four games that they won, two of which they were trailing in after the eighth inning. “Just unbelievable”, first baseman Eric Hosmer said.
Salvador Perez took foul balls of his mask, collarbone and fingers, and the Kansas City catcher kept on bouncing back, like a few indestructible test dummy.
But the true mark of an effective manager is whether his players battle for him – to the end of games, and to the end of seasons when the team is out of the race. “That’s grown throughout the whole entire world, I think, as the fans have watched us compete throughout this postseason”.
“Ya’ll want to be politically correct; I’m an unpolitically correct person”, he said. Sorry guys, not on our team, but we beat that guy too!
“That’s something we’ve all believed in, something we all bought in since day one and that’s why we’re world champions”. Even if it stung just a little bit! Girton says while the 30 year wait was worth it…
“You know when there’s a celebration going on in Kansas City, they do it right”. It might be a one-time experience for him.
Now, they’ll be negotiating contracts to either stay with the Royals or go to another team.
