Speaking of the Royals...
Since they joined the league in 1969, they've won 7 division titles, made 7 playoff appearances, won 1 pennant, and one World Series. In the same time, Boston has won 5 division titles, made 7 playoff appearances, won 2 pennants, but NO World Series. So who's had more to show since 1969?
I'll answer for you. It's the YANKEES! 12 division titles, 13 playoff appearances, 8 pennants, 6 World Series.
But hey, take heart. The Sox have something the Yankees will NEVER have. A cute and cuddly mascot!
