Can anyone dethrone Jeff Kloster and his boys in blue? Not this year, as the Tigers gave it their all only to be tossed aside in Game 7, leaving the Royals with their fourth consecutive World Championship. 

Prior to Game 7, Yountfan searched high and low for the final words of encouragement he would need to wrap up that fourth championship. It was during a walk in a nearby forest that a large dog approached and whispered, "Dennis Leonard will take you there." Emboldened by the canine's words, Kloster approached Game 7 brimming with confidence.

On hand for the series celebration, President Donald Trump declared that Wednesday, September 12 will be "Yountfan Day in America." 

Congrats Jeff!

A great year! Here's just a little of what happened...

A dynasty is forming in Kansas City. Unfortunately, the team owner missed the celebration.

The Royals took their second consecutive World Series crown last night, with a convincing 4-0 home victory over the Padres. Larry Gura came close to a complete game shutout before giving way to Mark Littell with two out in the ninth. Royals players celebrated in style, as evidenced in the photograph above. 

The excitement might have been too much for Royals owner Jeff Koster. Kloster, listening to the game from home, decided to make a dash for the airport with his team leading after four innings. The Kloster corporate jet was warmed up and ready to make the flight to Kansas City, but the owner was nowhere to be found. It was discovered later that Kloster was detained at a local convenience store after being accused of stealing a pack of Chiclets. Kloster was taken to Macomb County police headquarters and booked, before it was determined that he had actually entered the store with the Chiclets already in his possession. By the time Kloster was released, the game had concluded.

Congratulations to the Royals and Padres. Now, on to 1977!

That's Jeff "Yountfan" Kloster enjoying a victory stogie after his team swept the Pirates to take the 1975 crown. The two teams battled all season, as they were both in the Central, but when crunch time came, the Royals dominated.

Congratulations Jeff! Now, on to the bicentennial year!
