They were watching at Sporting Park as the Royals recorded the final outs.

Holland still had to close things out though.
ROYALS CELEBRATION STATUS HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO DEFCON 4. I REPEAT, DEFCON 4.

LET THE CELEBRATION BEGIN!
A little champagne for you, some for you, and some for you too. http://t.co/ScfZSOU4hs

Billy just douched Yost with champagne. Hilarious. He's been waiting for that for months. #Royals

The skipper never escapes the champagne – especially after a 29-year drought. http://t.co/caFYxI0cta

Comedian Jay Mohr was apparently a fan of the James Shields trade.
U said I was nuts when I said KC got better end of Shields-Myers trade. WM will play much longer but tonight Royals in playoffs that = $$$

George Brett was in a celebratory, yet profane mood.
George Brett is ready to go. "If these guys only knew what this means to this city," he said. "Shit, it means the world to me."

George Brett: "These guys played their effing asses off." He did not say "effing."

RE2PECT
So glad Derek Jeter got to see the Royals in the playoffs before he died.

Aw, class act by Bruce.
A BIG congrats to the @Royals. Dedication and hard work pay off! ⚾️ #BlueOctober #playoffbound

Lots of allusions to 1985.

Um, what?
Are the Tigers better off as a wild card team or winning the division, is a real thing Harold Reynolds just said.

David Glass exists and was present for festivities.
I asked David Glass for comment. He said sincerely, "I would, but tonight's about the players. They did it." #Royals

As plumes of cigar smoke filled the room, James Shields' voice cut through the noise: "We. Are. Not. Done."
— Andy McCullough (@McCulloughStar) September 27, 2014
I'm not sure I can sleep tonight.
I'm gonna wake up in the morning and realize this could all be over by Tuesday, but for now, I'm going to bed with a smile on my face.

Yep. Enjoy it Kansas City Royals fans. You deserve it.
