Obama honors Royals at White House after 3 decade gap (Yahoo Sports)

The Kansas City Royals are going to have to work on their nicknames as far as President Barack Obama is concerned. The Royals last visited the White House in 1985 when President Ronald Reagan saluted their ''never-say-die spirit'' in the Rose Garden. Six outs away from playoff elimination, the Royals scored seven runs to defeat the Houston Astros.
