I'm just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe. Occasionally write about baseball at bleedingroyalblue.com. IBWAA member.
If you are a baseball fan (and especially a #Royals fan) this is worth your time. A great book & a deeper look into the first KC team I fell in love with.

The Blue Jays made an incredible run to the World Series, and while people want it so badly to be just about contact, it really wasn't.

On the 5 teams best positioned to follow the Toronto path to 2026 success:
