COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) – Fans of the St. Louis Cardinals and the Kansas City Royals are showing off their memorabilia heading into a high-profile matchup.
The Columbia Missourian (https://bit.ly/1BZ2uPP ) reports that this weekend could be the second time this year the Interstate 70 rivals will play while first in their divisions if the Royals maintain their one-game lead in the American League Central. The series starts Friday in St. Louis.
The Missourian went in search of fans, photographing 66-year-old Don Boes of Jefferson City in front of memorabilia, some of it from the 1985 World Series. Photographers also captured 55-year-old John Thessen, of Taos, with a collection that includes seats from the old Busch Stadium.
The Cardinals and Royals also had the best records in Major League Baseball when they played in May.
