I call bullshit.
First off, the Royals faced a shortened season and had major drug issues with the players. Everyone knows that.
Secondly, he basically took a quickly rebuilt team to the ALCS when there was NO wildcard and only TWO divisions, then won the World Series.

More bullshit.
Whitey had FIVE seasons. He didn't need another year.
The team stopped responding and could only go so far.
