White Herzog Royals

The Kansas City Royals had come into baseball’s national consciousness in 1976, when they dethroned the Oakland A’s Dynasty in the AL West, and then took the New York Yankees to the final inning of the 1976 ALCS before coming up a just short of the pennant. The 1977 Kansas City Royals established that they were here to stay as a contender, but it was a rocky ride for much of the way before the Royals took over the AL West race.
