Hundreds of thousands of Kansas City Royals fans lined the parade route and gathered at Union Station to celebrate the World Series championship.
As loud as Kauffman Stadium gets when Kansas City Royals fans make their voices heard, never before has it sounded like this amphitheater around Union Station when the fans chanted, “Let’s go Royals!”
The player fans wanted to hear from the most was the World Series Most Valuable Player Salvador Perez. “Today we are No. 1 in the whole world, guys,” said Perez.
Then Perez and teammate Jonny Gomes took charge in prodding certain teammates to speak to the crowd.
“I need the bullpen right here!” said Gomes. “These guys are so shy they just want to strike people out.”
The rally was the last collective cheer before the front office starts adjusting its roster to defend the World Series championship next year.
