Omschrijving

Teammates Mike Moustakas, Eric Hosmer, Alex Gordon, Salvador Perez, 2014 American League Championship Series MVP Lorenzo Cain, and the best bullpen in baseball were the key components of a Royals team that ended a 29-year postseason drought, and ignited the passions of an entire city. It was a ride which began with a dramatic, extra-innings wild-card game victory over the Oakland A's and continued through a Major League record nine-straight postseason wins; ending only with a Game 7 loss in the club's first World Series appearance since 1985.

Now, fans have a new opportunity to share every moment of the 2014 season through the eyes of the players, coaches, scouts, and front office staff who made it happen - and are making it happen again in 2015.

From the Guys Who Were There ... The Kansas City Royals takes you inside the clubhouse and onto the field, as the Royals recount the moments that mean the most to them.

When you read From the Guys Who Were There ... The Kansas City Royals, you'll feel the same rush of emotion as the team. You'll picture yourself sitting between manager Ned Yost and pitching coach Dave Eiland as they plot their postseason strategy game by game. You'll re-live everything that made the 2014 season so special, while also watching the Royals race toward a 2015 post-season which may end yet another drought for the Boys in Blue.

Looking to the 2015 season, you'll also gain access to the front office as, with the trade deadline looming, they worked to add ace starting pitcher Johnny Cueto and jack-of-all-trades Ben Zobrist to the roster for the upcoming playoff run.

Though they undoubtedly caught teams off-guard with their enthusiasm and grit, the Royals are underdogs no more. Ned Yost and general manager Dayton Moore give you a feel for what it takes to build a strong team and put the best 11 players on the field, supported by an entire team of scouts and personnel - as well as a city full of fans.

If you are a Royals fan, this is a must-have for your sports library. As an added bonus, the players who helped the Royals become a powerhouse from 1976 through 1985 discuss the secret to their massive success and share about how special it was to follow their young brethren last year.
