Kansas City Royals end 30-year wait for World Series

Kansas City Royals have won the World Series for the first time since 1985 after a superb 7-2 comeback victory against New York Mets gave them an unassailable 4-1 lead in the seven-match contest.

The Royals were 2-0 down heading into the top of the ninth inning but Lorenzo Cain and Eric Hosmer registered RBIs to cancel out the Mets’ lead they had held after scoring singles in the first and sixth inning.
