Kansas City Royals

Kansas City Royals is an American MLB team based in Kansas City, Missouri, United States.
==History==
In 1967, the Kansas City Athletics moved to Oakland, leaving Kansas City without an MLB team, and, for the first time since 1883, a professional baseball team in general. Due to this, then-senator Stuart Symington threatened to introduce legislation removing baseball's antitrust unless MLB would give Kansas City a new team in the next round of expansion.
In 1969, the next expansion happened, with the Royals being one of the teams. Symington was not happy as he did not want to wait two years.
Ewing Kauffman won the bidding for the new team, conducting a contest for the most appropriate name for the new team. Sanford Porte suggested Royals, in recognition of Missouri's billion-dollar livestock industry.
==Channel==
The Royals created their channel on August 18, 2015, and uploaded their first video on October 2, 2015, titled "ALCS Gm4: Royals finish sweep, secure spot in the WS". On November 26, 2019, they uploaded their first livestream, titled "New Royals Ownership Press Conference".
