The Royals just finished up a series against the Yankees in the Bronx where they lost three of four games. Coincidentally, it was 30 years ago on this day that the Royals and Yankees brought the largest crowd in Kansas City major league baseball history.

That's pretty amazing. Those teams in the 70s and 80s combined for some classic matchups but I'm a little surprised that 1985, the year the Royals won the World Series, didn't top the list somewhere.
