Kansas City Royals Tickets

For die-hard baseball fans who know their trivia, nobody can forget the amicable chalk-painted, tobacco-filled, game face of Kansas City Royals perennial All Star third baseman George Brett during the 70's and 80's. If you bought baseball tickets in those decades, you know that those were the Royals golden years when they would face off against the New York Yankees in the playoffs one season after another.

In 2009, fans purchased Kansas City Royals tickets to see first baseman Billy Butler who placed in the top stats among the American League leaders in almost every category and All Star pitching sensation Zack Greinke who won 16 games with a league-leading 2.16 ERA and a highly respectable 242 strikeout total at the end of the season.

Royals Facts

• The Kansas City Royals were named from a livestock horse and rodeo show called the American Royal which was held every year in Kansas City, Missouri since 1899.
• On July 24, 1983 in what has since become a part of baseball lore and known as 'the Pine Tar Incident' umpires discovered 18 inches of pine tar up the handle of George Brett's bat after he had crushed a game-winning, two-run homer in the top of the ninth off of Hall of Famer, New York Yankees penman 'Goose' Gossage. The home run was recalled at the time. Baseball fans, old enough to have seen it, will never forget a hysterical George Brett storming out of the dugout and getting ejected from the game. Some forget, but the Royals went on to win the game once it was reviewed by the commissioner several weeks later.
• The Kansas City Royals won three straight division titles from 1976-1978.

Kansas City Royals tickets have been up for sale since the team was added as an expansion franchise in 1969. Since that time the Royals made it to the World Series twice, but it was in 1985 when they were led by the gunslinging, pine-tarred lumber of George Brett and the outstanding Cy Young pitching performances by Bret Saberhagen that led to the teams only Championship.

Since the 80s, the Royals have been relatively quiet but still play their home games in what is often considered one of the nicest ball parks in the game at Kauffman Stadium. In the latter part of the decade and the early part of the 90s the Kansas City Royals featured All Star caliber players like Bo Jackson, Tom Gordon and Kevin Seitzer. The Royals remained fairly competitive but kept falling just short of any post-season fireworks.
