You’ll just have to indulge me, because this happens only once in a “Blue” moon … or every three decades! But my KC Royals took the crown last night, and I want to celebrate!
And so we painted the down BLUE
That’s our historic Union Station in front, lit up in BLUE
In the back on the left, you can make out the word “CHAMP”
That’s the downtown Marriott Hotel, which has a moving-light sign.
Thousands gathered in the Power & Light District downtown to watch the game on giant screens and celebrate!
And we did “Party Like It’s 1985!” – which was the last time the Royals won the World Series.
Back when I was still in practice, our office had season tickets to both the Royals and the Chiefs. And as luck would have it my relatives came down that weekend – so I got to take my Mom (then 67 y/o, like I am now) to a unique “doubleheader”.
We took in a Chiefs football game Sunday afternoon and practically broiled, it was so warm. Then came home, showered, and headed back out to the Sports Complex for an evening World Series game – where it turned freezing cold, while I was in shorts and a t-shirt.
Should have listened to my Mom, who kept telling me, “Don’t you think you should take a jacket?” Me: “Nah! It was broiling today!”
Well, it got so cold I had to head to the souvenir stand to buy about the last sweatshirt they had – at least TWO sizes too small. So I gave it to my Mom afterwards.
And the past couple of weeks she’s been proudly wearing her “See-I-told-you-you-should-have-brought-a-jacket” “KC Royals 1985 World Series” sweatshirt at the Assisted Living place … and loving it!
The only thing that would have made her happier is it were her beloved Cubbies celebrating. Next year, Mom … next year!

It would doubly great when our "Blue Team" wins all the elections in 2015 & the BIG one in 2016!
Get out the Demo Vote!
Blue is good!
Congratulations from Mets country!
Kudos and great pix!
Congratulations, I feel your joy. It is the same when our Kentucky Wildcats win the NCAA. We all say that we bleed blue if we are UK fans. That is where I went to school, too, so it means a lot to me. The only blue thing in our red state!
Congratulations, Joanne.
Congratulations, Nameless, of course. Sorry about the mix-up.
I cried because my beloved Mets lost.
Congrats to your team though.
