I love reading the history of the Royals as told by WTI and reading a bit about the Royals/Yankees before my time reminds me of the Raiders.... both true head-to-head rivalries were before my time, so all I've got are YT videos of Raiders players riding a Chiefs player 10 yards out of bounds or George Brett throwing haymakers.
If it wasn't for that context, both would pretty much be ignored after 2003. |

Required viewing:
I became a Royals fan in 2003, at a time when it was a tradition for the team to lose 100 games. My Mom did an incredible job of being a Royals historian for me, explaining how, believe it or not, the Royals used to be a powerhouse and a blood-hated rival with the evil empire Yankees, While I soon came to despise the Yankees for outspending every team in baseball to collect the game’s most talented players - I could never imagine the Royals ever facing them in October. My mom and I watched a Royals playoff win together for the first time today (I was in college during the runs in 14-15, and the two games we watched together were both losses). This weekend, we’ll get to watch the Royals and Yankees face off again for the first time in 44 years. |

One injury to watch is Anthony Rizzo, who fractured two fingers just this past week.
If he can't go, the Yankees will turn to converted catcher Ben Rice at 1B. Rizzo is a huge loss as he grinds tough at-bats, but most importantly, he's a sure-handed fielder. He bails out the Yankee infielders when they make a bad throw to first. I could see his loss factoring into a key defensive play not made in the ALDS. |
