This year may have been forgettable in the standings for the Royals, but there were still fun moments, particularly from the younger players on the squad. As we turn the page on 2018, I thought we might look back on some of the most photogenic moments from the last season.

And a big kudos to all the photographers that do great work out there like Kansas City Star photographer John Sleezer and our own Minda Haas-Kuhlmann. Without them, we wouldn’t capture some of these magical moments.

Enjoy looking back on this photo gallery of moments from the season.
