One agonizing step from ecsta- sy last season, this time the Royals reign after their latest incredible comeback and a go-ahead hit from maybe the most unlikely player in uniform. Christian Colon singled home the tiebreaking run in the 12th inning and those bound-and-de- termined Royals rallied one more time to beat the New York Mets 7-2 in 12 innings early Monday for their first World Series cham- pionship since 1985 and second overall. Down two runs in the ninth, Kansas City fought back in Game 5 against two of the top arms on the pitching-rich Mets: Matt Har- vey and Jeurys Familia. And the Royals did it not with home run power but instead a daring dash from Eric Hosmer, a three-run double by Lorenzo Cain, a couple of crucial stolen bases. Consistent contact, keep the line moving. And that’s how Series MVP Salvador Perez and the Royals be- came the first team since the 2002 Angels to come from behind in all four World Series wins, accord- ing to STATS. That’s how they washed away the bitter taste of last year’s Game 7 loss at home to San Francisco, an October heart- break that drove them to their sin- gular focus all season. Never waver. Win it all this time. Now, this group of homegrown favorites that turned around a floundering franchise, Mike Moustakas and Alex Gordon and Hosmer, can take their place in Royals history alongside George Brett, Willie Wilson, Bret Saber- hagen and those champs from 30 years ago.
