After all the frustration, Chris Chambliss, and everything else that happened to the Royals in the '70's and into the '80's, the reaction of Bret Saberhagen and George Brett hugging each other on the mound was what every Royals fan had long waited for. As an added bonus, Bret Saberhagen's first child was born the previous night.UPDATE: Even after the call, the Cardinals had their chances, such as Jack Clark missing an easy foul pop fly.

I've admitted to not being a sports fan, but I do appreciate baseball. As a resident of the Show Me State, this was the only World Series I ever cared about. I remember this being all over the news(local and national) It was also called the I-70 Series. Kansas City was favored where I live. I personally prefer the Cardinals, but no matter how many times they whine and belly ache, in 1985 the Royals won because in the end they were the better team.

An entertaining series, mention of the Show Me Showdown still gets Cards fans riled up. They'll start ranting about the bad call in game 6 and blame it for their boys losing. The fact is, the Cards fell apart when it mattered, and the better team won.
