Royals Return To The Playoffs !!!

For us Royals fans, it has been a long time coming.  The Royals are in the Playoffs for the first time since 1985. They also won the World Series in '85 against the Cardinals.

TWENTY NINE long years.....

In 1985....

I was in my last year of college at NDSU
Ronald Reagan had been sworn in to his second term as president
The Berlin Wall was still standing
a stamp cost 20 cents


Your computer in 1985

 

The first Nintendo system was released in America, and we played Super Mario for the first time.
