POSTSEASON DROUGHT IS OVER--Though the sting of dropping Game Seven of the World Series lingered throughout the offseason, the participation in the Fall Classic represented Kansas City’s first appearance in the postseason since 1985...the Royals did it in dramatic fashion, clinching the playoff berth in Chicago on the final weekend of the regular season and then winning the still talked about Wild Card game over Oakland, rallying from a 7-3 deficit to Jon Lester in the eighth inning to take a 9-8 decision in 12 innings...that triumph would be the first of a Major League record eight consecutive wins to open the postseason, with KC’s first loss coming in Game One of the World Series vs. the Giants...in the interim, the Royals rolled through the Angels in three straight in the ALDS and then swept all four games from Baltimore in the ALCS, with Lorenzo Cain taking MVP honors. A LOOK AHEAD IN 2015--KC will open its 2015 regular season at home for the first time since 2011, as the Chicago White Sox will invade Kauffman Stadium for a 3:10 start next Monday afternoon...following a day off Tuesday, the Royals and ChiSox will play two more games before Kansas City embarks on its first road trip, a week long journey to Anaheim (3) and Minnesota (3)...Billy Butler and the Oakland A’s will open KC’s second stay at “The K” on April 17, with last year’s Wild Card opponent in town for three, followed by Minnesota for three...Kansas City’s Interleague work this year this year will be vs.

He wondered what lay ahead. He thought about what might not. Then Schimpf leapt. Of course, he did. “It was kind of an exciting, maybe a little scary at times,” Schimpf said Saturday in the dugout at the Great American Ball Park. “Sometimes the grass isn't always greener on the other side. Sometimes it's not always that easy to get a job being a minor league free agent, especially with no big league time. “I was looking for the right opportunity, the right place to land.” Little did he know how propitious his choice was.
