The Royals are based in Kansas City, Missouri, as a member of
the Central Division of the American League. The "Royals" name
originates from the American Royal,
a livestock show, horse show, and rodeo held annually in Kansas City since 1899.
The name also followed a theme of other professional franchises in the city,
including the Kansas City Chiefs football
team. The Kansas City Kings basketball
team was also named the Royals before moving to Kansas City. Other team
nicknames are The Big Blue Bus, The Boys in Blue. They have won six West
Division titles, two American League pennants and one World Series championship
in 1985.
