The Royals are in the World Series again! It's been a tense run through the playoffs, with multiple classic Royals comebacks, but here we are facing the Mets for the finish the unfinished business from last year. Last night was Game 1, and Julie and Andrew invited me over to watch the game at their house. Before the game I got to spend some time with Benjamin, including reading him a couple books. He loves reading and books and already having people read to him. After he went to bed, Julie, Andrew, and I watched the game, and what a game it was! Alcides Escobar opened the game with an inside-the-park home run, The Mets went ahead, and the Royals looked doomed, except they're never doomed, and Alex Gordon hit a homer in the bottom of the ninth against Jeurys Familia and then won in 14th with an Eric Hosmer sacrifice fly. It was a thrilling game, and one the Royals needed to defend home field advantage in the series. Jacob deDrom and Noah Syndergaard are up in the next two games, so the Royals still have their work cut out for them.
