You're not dreaming, baseball is finally back! More importantly, Royals baseball is back. It's time to head out to Kauffman, eat some good food, and enjoy one of the best views in the world. Looking back at the last couple of years, going from 90 losses to 90 wins, finally raising the big trophy meant so much to this city. Now we get to watch the guys we know so well defend a title. From Gordo to Hos, Salvy to Moose, our boys are back in action and ready to give us some more highlight plays.

That means a little more of this:

And this:

Oh yeah, this, too:

It also means a town that has never been closer together, and has become a tourist destination, will rally behind its most beloved team. Things change when you build a winner, and we have waited more than my entire lifetime to be on top again. Baseball now means more than it ever has to Kansas City, and the ride is starting again.

Once again, even though the bulk of Kansas City's core returns, many projections have them finishing with almost 20 fewer wins than they had last year. With that lack of respect, it seems as if the World Champions will have another chip on their shoulder throughout the entirety of the 2016 season. This should make for some more fantastic baseball, and hopefully a great defense of the World Series crown.

Time will only tell. Let's go Royals.
