History

World Series won

2

1985, 2015.

Key moments

  • Won the 2015 World Series with a team built on contact hitting and defence while the rest of the sport chased home runs.
  • George Brett's pine tar home run in 1983 was disallowed, then reinstated on appeal, and the game was replayed weeks later.

Controversy

  • A 2024 sales tax vote to fund a new downtown ballpark was rejected by Jackson County voters by a wide margin, leaving the club's future in the city unresolved.
