The Kansas City Royals have won the 2015 MLB World Series, and with this comes a parade through downtown Kansas City where players are able to celebrate with fas and vise versa. The parade is scheduled for Tuesday at 12:00 PM which conflicts with several of my classes at the University of Central Missouri, including the class that this blog is required for. With that in mind, I will be attending the parade and will have to miss out on some participation points in lectures to witness history in Kansas City, which sounds like a fair trade.
I have never been able to witness anything like this especially with the Royals because the last parade they had was in 1985 after they win the World Series. This championship is huge for Kansas City and the history of the city, so that is why I will be attending the parade with friends rather than being stuck in a lecture hall, unable to even watch the parade. I have been a Royals fan all of my life, going to games when I was younger where they practically paid you to watch with cheap tickets during the seasons where the Royals had 100 losses, which happened frequently in the 2000s. I am not being selfish when I say "Kansas City needed this Championship" because Royals fans everywhere who stuck with the team in the 2000s deserve this and being able to celebrate with thousands of fans and the Royals organization during this parade will be well worth skipping a few lectures, sorry Dr. Lee, and Dr. Lim.
