The 2015 World Series set the tone on the very first pitch. Alcides Escobar turned Matt Harvey’s opening pitch into an inside-the-park home run — the first in a World Series since 1929. Kansas City had the lead before the game had even begun to breathe. And that was only the beginning. The Royals kept turning impossible situations into comebacks, from Alex Gordon’s Game 1 game-tying homer to Eric Hosmer’s legendary dash home in Game 5. Every game felt like Kansas City simply refused to lose. So when you say “The 2015 World Series was over after the first at-bat,” it sounds crazy — until you remember how the Series ended: Kansas City winning it all, 4–1. That first at-bat was basically a preview of everything that followed. - follow ( slugger.report ) for insane baseball content - #baseball #mlb #baseballplays #alcidesescobar #kansascityroyals
