As it turns out, all the writers of &#8220;Back To The Future II&#8221; had to do to predict the 2015 World Series winner was stick with the team that won it all the year &#8220;Back to The Future&#8221; took place.<\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"subHeadline\"><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"subHeadline\">The Royals came back from a two-run deficit in the top of the ninth inning of Game 5 on Sunday night before pinch hitter Christian Colon laced a tiebreaking single in the top of the 12th inning as Kansas City beat the New York Mets 7-2.<\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"subHeadline\"><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"subHeadline\">Shortstop Alcides Escobar hit an RBI double and center fielder Lorenzo Cain added a three-run double later in the 12th for the Royals, who won a record seven postseason games in which they trailed by at least two runs. Right-hander Luke Hochevar threw two hitless innings for the win before right-hander Wade Davis struck out three in the bottom of the 12th to seal the win.<\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"subHeadline\"><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"subHeadline\">Davis fanned shortstop Wilmer Flores and flung his glove in the air to set off a wild celebration at the pitcher&#8217;s mound by the Royals, who became the first team to win the World Series the year after losing it since the 1989 Oakland Athletics.<\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"subHeadline\"><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"subHeadline\">In between championships, the Royals experienced 20 losing seasons, served as the poster boys for the supposed chasm between big and small markets and became a popular punch line for professional futility. In a 2006 episode of &#8220;The Simpsons,&#8221; Marge Simpson browsed a broken-down used book store that had &#8220;Kansas City Royals: Forever Champions&#8221; in stock.<\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"subHeadline\"><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"subHeadline\">The Royals finally ended the three-decade championship drought with an approach as retro in today&#8217;s analytical game as music still on MTV. The strikeout is more accepted now than ever, but Kansas City wore down opposing teams with a grinding, aggressive, one-through-25 approach built on putting the ball in play. The Royals forced extra innings in the ninth against Mets right-hander Matt Harvey, who shut Kansas City out on just four hits through eight innings while being serenaded with chants of &#8220;HAR-VEY! HAR-VEY!&#8221; from the sellout crowd of 44,859.<\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"subHeadline\"><\/h2>\n<h2 class=\"subHeadline\">CONGRATULATION TO THE WORLD CHAMPION KANSAS CITY ROYALS FROM THE MYBOYSAY NATION&#8217;S MLB ENTHUSIASTS!!!!!<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Royals come back in 9th, break through in 12th to win first series since 1985.
