For Royals fans, it’s a happy one-year anniversary of World Series clincher
Because 2016 is a Leap Year, Royals fans got one extra day to revel in their team’s World Series championship.
It was one year ago today that Wade Davis struck out Wilmer Flores to end Game 5 of the World Series at Citi Field. The Royals won 7-2 in 12 innings and took the crown.
A lot of Royals fans didn’t need to be reminded of this special day. Here is what many fans shared on social media.
