I heard an interesting interview with George Brett on MLB radio a few weeks ago where he provided an interesting explanation about why the Royals hadn't done well in those bandbox stadiums in New York, Houston and Toronto. He said that during the regular season the Royals see the short fences and start swinging for them, instead of playing their usual game. That explanation made me feel a lot better about their chances in October, because I felt that when the season on the line the Royals would be more likely to follow their usual approach at the plate.
