We found a lot of wonderful photos, and videos, and stories about the Royals’ celebrations after winning the pennant and a berth in the World Series. From the Wall Street Journal comes the video above about the origins of the team’s name.

At the other end of the political spectrum, here are some factoids about the Royals courtesy of the Huffington Post:

“With Just Two Players Set To Earn A Salary Greater Than $10 Million, and 17 To Earn Below MLB’s Average Salary Of About $4 Million, the Royals Had The 19th Lowest Payroll In MLB On Opening Day 2014.”

It’s also being noted on social media that KC has no players with 15 wins, 20 homers, or 75 RBI.

Here are three GIFs posted on Tumblr by Major League Baseball.
