I played Little League with Eric Hosmer. CSB, I know.

Been a long 29 years. Wonder if they can hang on.

Royals/Pirates World Series.
Lowest ratings ever.
But I'd love watching that series.

And the Rangers were total suckage.
(OK maybe some things haven't changed. But they had yet to make their first playoff appearance as a franchise.)

Crazy Royals have only made the playoffs 7 times.

They've only been around since 1969. Same number of playoff appearances as the Mets, more than the Rangers.

You say that like that's a respectable thing.
Posted on 8/18/14 at 11:20 am to craigbiggio
I didn't know that. I thought they'd been around since baseball had begun
Posted on 8/18/14 at 11:27 am to okietiger
Astros and Angels are the only expansion-era teams with more playoff appearances, 9.

The Royals won the World Series in 1985
Posted on 8/18/14 at 11:48 am to TigerNick23
Curious: how old are you exactly?
Posted on 8/18/14 at 11:50 am to okietiger
Wasn't around to see the 1985 series so that should narrow it down for you 
Posted on 8/18/14 at 11:51 am to TigerNick23
I already knew the answer based on how you conduct yourself on the MSB.
Posted on 8/18/14 at 11:55 am to okietiger
Also the (then Florida, now Miami) Marlins had not won either of their two World Series--because they weren't in existence.
