World Series Notes

The Kansas Royals, who lost a heartbreaking World Series to the San Francisco Giants last year, won the first two games at home vs the New York Mets in the current Fall (not so) Classic.

It is just the third time in ten post-season series the Royals have opened at home, in which they have led two games to none.

Additionally it is just the third time in twelve post-season series the Mets have opened on the road, in which they lost the first two games.

The Royals are in their fifteenth post-season series,  having opened at home ten times.

This is contrasted with the Mets, who have opened thirteen of their seventeen post-season series on the road.

Overall, this is the fifth time, fourth in the last two years, the Royals have been ahead two games to none in a series.

It is the fourth time the Mets have been down two games to none in a post season series.
