## Resource

This Royals season feels like a gut-punch after high hopes—promising contention, now spiraling into disappointment with injuries and underperformance. It’s not the first time: past seasons like 1997, 2001, 1986, and 1990 also began with promise but ended in heartbreak, fueled by busted moves, shaky bullpens, and tragic circumstances. Even this year’s star power and solid rotation can’t overcome the roster’s collapse. These are stories of shattered dreams, but they’re also what make baseball endure—the relentless, painful hope for that next great season.
