The fruits of the labors of Moore and his staff were reflected in the Royals success in getting to game seven of the World Series in 2014, and then winning it in 2015. The significance of the smile is that the Royals consciously set out to build a team with players who had a deep love of the game, and who would be a positive influence in the clubhouse. The scouting report on Perez was that he had a strong arm, a stability and presence behind the plate, and a big smile. Signing Perez as a 16-year-old out of Venezuela was one of the first actions taken by new General Manager Dayton Moore when he took over in 2006. Perez had eight hits in 22 at bats, and scored three runs. NY Mets, which Royal was named the most valuable player of the Series? (Hint: he was their catcher.) After the Royals won the World Series in five games vs.Cain played center field, and Rios right field. Then in the 14th inning of the first game, he scored the winning run on a sacrifice fly by Hosmer.

Escobar was the Royals shortstop and leadoff hitter, who started out the Series with an inside-the-park home run, an event so rare that it hadn't happened in a World Series since 1929. The wrong choices are other Royals starters. The score remained tied 2-2 until the 12th, when the Royals scored five runs to take the game 7-2, and take the Series four games to one. Considering those factors, along with the improbability of the next batter doing anything productive against the Mets closer (who was now in the game, having replaced Harvey after Hosmer's double), Hosmer decided he would chance it if the opportunity arose. The Royals scouting reports had mentioned that Wright was slow to throw to first since his shoulder injury, and Duda had a below-average arm at first. A decent throw to home from Mets first baseman Lucas Duda would have nailed Hosmer easily, but the throw was off and Hosmer scored. Standing at third with one out, he visualized a play in which the ball would be hit to Mets third baseman David Wright, and he would take off for home as soon as Wright threw to first. Hosmer had hit a double to score a run, then advanced to third on a groundout.

Which Mets player became the first player to ever hit home runs in six consecutive postseason games?.

The other choices are the starting second baseman for the other three teams in the two NL Division Series. Despite the unfortunate injury to their starting shortstop, the Mets went on to defeat the Dodgers three games to two in the Division Series. The umpires failed to penalize Utley at the time, but the Commissioner's office later imposed a two-game suspension on Utley. Prior to the start of the 2016 season, MLB changed its rules to outlaw 'rolling block' slides such as the one Utley made to take out Tejada. Utley didn't start his 'slide' until reaching second base, causing most baseball observers to call it a dirty slide. Utley ran into (hard to call it a 'slide') Tejada while Tejada had his back to to Utley. 202 in 34 games, but helped out by playing three different infield positions for the Dodgers during those 34 games.ДЄt the time of the infamous slide, the Dodgers were down one game to none in the Division Series, and in danger of going down two games to none. The 36-year-old Utley was acquired during the 2015 season by the Dodgers to be a utility infielder.
