3. Eight come from behind victories, including late inning comebacks.
4. Facing adversity in nearly every game, the Royals never panic.
5.Eric Hosmer commits a crucial error in game 5 but later redeems himself with hitting and bold base running.
6. Ned Yost, the manager, rarely tells a batter whether or not to bunt.

8. Salvador Perez at 6'4 took an unusual amount of punishment in the form of batted balls. Despite all this he set a record for catching 2,713 regular-season and postseason innings in 2014-2015 and became the MVP of the World Series.
9. The manager and coaches and players are often seen smiling and laughing, which instills confidence in the team.
