Hot on the heels of a Kansas City Royals American League Championship -- no, really -- we threw it back to our roots. Back in the first months of the Vault, we did the show live and let things go where they would go so we did the same with this one, via a Google Hangout.

So we brought Troy "KC Royalman" back to host and shared in the euphoria of an upcoming Royals World Series appearance.

We talked about the path of the season, the perception of Dayton Moore, the likelihood of keeping the success going, and what it means as long time fans to see the Royals doing well, finally.

We also discussed fandom and attendance, and who we want to see across from the Royals in the World Series.

As always, we're sponsored by Kelly's Westport Inn, the official unofficial Royals watch party destination.
