Cardinals–Royals rivalry : ウィキペディア英語版 | Cardinals–Royals rivalry
The Cardinals–Royals rivalry is a Major League Baseball (MLB) interleague rivalry between the St. Louis Cardinals of the National League (NL) Central division and the Kansas City Royals of the American League (AL) Central division. The rivalry between the two clubs is also known as the Show-Me Series or the I-70 Series, due to the fact that the two cities are both located in the U.S. state of Missouri (whose nickname is the "Show Me State") and are also connected by Interstate 70. Both teams played against each other for the first time in the 1985 World Series, which the Royals won 4-3 in seven games. Owing to their geographical proximity, these two teams face each other every regular season in interleague play. ==Background== The Cardinals are one of Major League Baseball's oldest teams, having played in the National League in St. Louis since they were formed in 1882 as the Brown Stockings. The Royals joined the majors in 1969 as one of the American League's first expansion teams. Until major league baseball introduced interleague play in 1997, the only opportunity for the Cardinals and the Royals to meet was in the 1985 World Series. The two teams had gone through several periods of prolonged success (and several notable droughts) leading up to the World Series. The Cardinals fell on hard times in the 1970s after winning the 1964 and the 1967 World Series and appearing in the 1968 World Series. The Kansas City Royals had become one of the best teams in baseball by the late 1970s, reaching the American League playoffs six times from 1976 to 1984, including the 1980 World Series. After several down years, the Cardinals emerged as a pennant contender in the early 1980s, winning the 1982 World Series.
