Fox Sports KC to air playoff games from Royals’ 2015 World Series championship run
Here’s a good question for debate: which playoff comeback against a Houston team is the most famous in Kansas City history?
Is it the Chiefs’ 51-31 win over the Texans in January or the Royals’ 9-6 victory over the Astros in 2015?
Trailing 6-2 after seven innings, the Royals faced elimination from their American League Division Series before scoring five in the eighth inning and twice in the ninth inning for a stunning win.
That game will be shown again this month as Fox Sports Kansas City plans to re-air all of the Royals’ playoff games, including the 2015 World Series. The network also will show three regular-season games from the 2019 season.
Here is the schedule, and FSKC is expected to show more games this month, perhaps additional important contests from 2015.
