The American League champion Kansas City Royals played against the National League champion St. Louis Cardinals, winning the series four games to three. The Series was popularly known as the "Show-Me Series", or the "I-70 Showdown Series," as both cities are in Missouri, connected by Interstate 70. The Cardinals won the National League East division by three games over the New York Mets, then defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers, four games to two, in the National League Championship Series. The Royals won the American League West division by one game over the California Angels then defeated the Toronto Blue Jays, four games to three, in the American League Championship Series. The Cardinals were seeking to win their -leading tenth World Series title, while the Royals were seeking to become the first expansion team to win the World Series. This was the first World Series in which all games were played at night. This was also the first World Series that featured commentator Tim McCarver, who called the 1985 World Series with Al Michaels and Jim Palmer for ABC. Howard Cosell was originally supposed to be in the booth, but he was removed from his assignment just prior to Game 1 because of the controversy surrounding his book I Never Played the Game. This World Series was also the last time to date that the designated hitter was not used in an American League baseball park. It is also the most recent playoff appearance for the Royals. ]]> customchampionring@gmail.com (Randy Chan) https://www.customchampionshipring.net/1985-kansas-city-royals-world-series-championship-ring-p-117.html Sat, 20 Jul 2013 16:54:38 -0500 185.00 USD 117 0.5 10000 MLB1985
