2015 Royals Back to the Future

The 2015 Kansas City Royals got on an aeroplane in Phoenix, Arizona in late March of 2015 to fly north for a promising season.

They landed in the year 1985. No smartphones. No Kardashians. Lots of Billy Ocean and Madonna on the radio. Everybody in the world has a mullet. Where's George Brett? Who are these guys who call themselves the KC Royals? How come none of them have mullets?

The season starts in three days. Can this team of gritty misfits from the future win the hearts of KC sports fans? Can they even win 75 games in the American League of 1985, a dangerous world where starting pitchers tend to go longer than five innings?

The MLB fandom is shocked to find two more teams from 2015 have descended into the mid-80s. The 2015 Colorado Rockies have settled into the NL West. The 2015 Washington Nationals will duke it out with the Cardinals, Cubs, Mets and Expos in the NL East.

Nobody knows what's going to happen. But this season will play out, game by game by game, until a World Series champion is crowned.

I will do my best to keep you all updated.
