Your classic small ball team. With all these homers these days, the art of simply putting the ball in play and moving runners has gotten lost. That's what truly made baseball a strategic game, and the 2014-15 Royals were the kings of that

Diehard A's fan here, but you've gotta respect the Royals fight in this game. One of the best games I've ever seen. Comes close to game 20 of the A's streak, also against the Royals, who came back from down 11-0. This wild card game really helped catapult the Royals that postseason. Two tremendous, unforgettable years you guys got to see. What a team!

This is a game you tell your kids about
Going into 2015 , you knew the Royals were going to be the Wolrd Series Champs. Having the three headed monster in HDH as closers, what a thing of beauty. The addition of Johnny Cueto and Ben Zobrist made them unstoppable. Watching Moose break back than the HR record, Hosmer finally being the pro he could be, Lorenzo Cain catching anything in the Outfield, Escobars speed stealing bases, Perez in his prime. Gosh how I miss watching good baseball and hope the Royals can one day again play competitive.But nothing will ever be as magical as that 2015 season
This game deserves one of those rewind videos. Im not even a royals fan and I still remember this game.

One of the best 2 days in KC sports history. The day before, the Chiefs destroyed the Patriots and Arrowhead broke the record for crowd noise, and the next day, the Royals comeback from 4 runs down from a prime Jon Lester to win their first playoff game in 29 years
The amount of fucking happiness this team gave our city will be forever unmatched. Thank you, boys. Forever Kansas City. Forever Royal.
Those 2 years of Royals baseball was a beautiful thing. So many comeback wins, high energy. If you followed them every game, you saw something miraculous almost every night. This comeback did not surprise me.
Athletics fan here, it's heart-breaking to watch this but at the same time you have to recognize the beauty of this moment.

My personal favorite was game 6 of the 2011 world series. I remember sitting in my bed watching the game when I should be asleep. I'm not a big fan of Joe Buck but that night he made one of the best calls of the 21st century. David Freese, a guy that before and after was nothing more than a side character in a tv show, showed up huge. There was no way the Cardinals had a chance in this game. Texas seemed to have the momentum. The bottom of the 9th inning came up. Down 2 runs, Lance Berkman who was the Cardinals best hitter singled to right center to bring the game to 1 run. David Freese, up next delivers hit number 1 of his 2 most clutch hits. A triple to left field that scores Berkman easily. Game tied. Then came the 11th inning. The Cardinals had just escaped trouble in the top of that inning. David Freese up to bat, a 3-2 count, expecting fastball all the way hit a pretty well located fastball hard. He knew, Joe Buck knew it, everyone knew. He had clutch number 2, a walk off homerun to straight away center. I still remember those words emanating in my ears. -"We will see you..... Tomorrow night"

Game 5 2017 World Series
It was a meaningful game to my KC fan son who watched it until that fateful 8th inning. Then he disgustedly left the house for a walk to burn off his disappointment that his Royals blew it. When he finally came back during the 10th inning he could hardly believe what he had missed.
Man what a game you gotta give those 2014-2015 royals some credit they could make a come back. Anyone else see the guy who tied it in the 12th was Christian colon, same guy who hit the go ahead hit in the 12th in the 2015 World Series?

The Royals games back in the 80's were some of the best times of my life...$3.50 for right field bleachers... on a summer Saturday, .. the sun, the girls the dogs & dollar beers....so much fun and to see the Royals again go on and win the WS, the way they won, amazing time... again!
Shout out to Christian Colon. Dude had two enormous at bats in these two post season runs and came through in both situations. Respect 👊
Hands down the best baseball game I've ever been to, I've never heard the K louder than it was that night.

This game and this playoff run made me a fan of baseball and a fan of the royals
Epic, just as we all began to think, its over and was a pleasant surprise the Royals turned things around, oh boy did it turn round. This momentum change took them to the World Seriesnot just once but twice having the second be their winning triumph. #ForeverRoyal

I was so happy with this win. Not a Royals fan but I remember the 1985 team, and having been as long as it had for The Royals, I would hate for it to be a one and done. Watching them win it all a year later was even better.

It pains me to see my favorite AL team lose like this. But I remember watching it live on TV and being blown away by the moment. Incredible game
I was there and will forever believe this to be the greatest sporting event I will ever witness in my life! No idea how it took me two years to find this video... Very well done! Tears currently forming in my eyes as this brought back the roller coaster of emotions this game brought. Unbelievable!
Such great memories! I had never been so excited before.
Brad Henson I still consider this a master piece you did with this and almost 5 years now you made this.My life has changed since this game because of you I can always relive it.Great work. Again I thank you with all my heart.
In honor of the Royals vs A's series today (6/20/24) i went back and watched this epic wildcard game from 10 years ago. Hard to believe its been that long, but 10 years later, Salvy is still with the Royals playing high quality ball and Bob Melvin since this tough loss has went to the playoffs several other times and still couldnt win a game
That was special. Thanks for putting this together. Brings back really good memories 👍
Every now and again I come back to this vid to remind myself where the magical two year run really began. What a game this was. The royals were truly a fantastic team in 14 and 15. We may never see a royals team that good again.
This was one of the best games I've ever seen
Greatful to have been born and had an opportunity to watch both of my Hometown Teams Almost go B2B 8 years apart

I remember watching this at a local restaurant. Kind of inspiring tbh!
I wasn't at this game, but I was at the next playoff game at the K, where KC swept the Angels in the 3rd game of the ALDS. The electricity was still off the charts. This team really was special, and I got to watch Moose, Hoz, Salvy, Dyson, Ventura, and all those guys come up through Northwest Arkansas AA and do alot of winning! This game was the day that the world got to see how special this team was.
A memory that will live in my head forever.
Wow this is my first time revisiting this since it happened. After all the postseason disappointments, the game 5 losses, Giambi not sliding, jeters flip and catch in the stands, verlander shutting us down. This was the last straw. All the stolen bases, the horrible defensive plays, the incredibly lucky placement of fly balls and grounders for the royals and just the overall collective choke. We had traded cespedes who brought this team back to life a few years prior for Lester and Gomes who's fingerprints are all over this loss. Not to mention we had been the best team in baseball for the first 2/3 of the season and barely made the second wild card spot on the last day of the season. This was just so heartbreaking. After this game that whole team that I had fallen in love with (Donaldson, moss, reddick, etc.) all evaporated the years after which left us with three seasons of absolutely dismal baseball that I could barely watch knowing what could have, no, should have been. If you ever feel discouraged rooting for a certain team, don't, at least your not an a's fan. We can't even get out of a stadium like the coliseum and it's fucking 2017 man. Ugh just don't even get me started.

I loved the fight of the 2014 Royals and 2015 Royals. They were very fun to watch.
I wasn't there, but I was at Kauffman that year to catch a Royals game. The Stadium shimmered, the field was a lush green and it was a throwback uniform day. A perfect day, as the Royals won. Glad I caught this amazing team playing that year.
How inspiring. After watching this, I've noticed how Akoi was smart enough to hit on a 3-1 pitch and also tried his best to pop it up to deep. Some hitters would just try to single there.
Not a royals fan but this game was awesome. It brought out my inner Sandlot kid again.
Angels fan here didn’t enjoy you guys sweeping us in the ALDS but enjoyed this game for sure

Why, this game was the real reason why Billy Beane and Bob Melvin (who are both calling this shots still) need to be replaced. These two guys are still involved with the A's and I hope that changes soon. Beane is no longer the GM but still has a large impact of the current state of the club. This Oakland team was never a strong club, and adding so much down the stretch and giving up what they did to get to this extra inning disaster was the biggest mistake Beane/Melvin have ever done.

This was the greatest comeback I’ve ever seen in my life
I never got more hugs and high fives from random people in the span of 5 hours ever in my life. I was pretty loud the whole game... I figured 29 years in the making and I would never see it again so I am all in... and random people were coming down to high five and hug me... on the way out it was absolute bedlam.... The crowd was as loud as any game across the parking lot. People were dancing on top of their cars screaming "I am not going to work..." It was beautiful. Championships are supposed to be hard. Maybe waiting that long to win, IS the way to go.
Really great game 👍👌 I'm so mad that they have gotten rid of all these great players and RIP 🙏 to the great VENTURA ALWAYS A TRUE FAN ROYALS AND THE OAKLAND A'S
Still remember I was 13, as a huge A’s fan living in Florida up until almost 2 in the morning. Don’t think I’ve ever gone to bed so upset😤
still hurts as an A's fan. but i'm glad 29 teams fans got to watch an great game.
