Parade
Continued from p.1
rally at the Liberty Memorial, was briefly interrupted by five small fires caused by burning confetti that covered the streets and cars. The fires caused no injuries.
Strings of blue and white balloons strung over Kessler Street became arches of triumph for the antique and classic vehicles that carried the Royals players, owners and officials.
Fans went out on the limbs of trees that lined both sides of Kessler Road to catch a glimpse of the players.
"This only happens in well, in not a lifetime, but once in several years," said Lori Stuckey, Cupertino, Calif., junior.
Stuckey said the parade wasn't
entirely unique to her because she attended the celebration for the San Francisco 49ers when they won the 1985 Super Bowl.
Stuckey and her friends, who are also KU students, decided to attend the parade rather than go to Monday's classes. They said they had watched the Series and had no doubt that the Royals would prevail.
Well, almost no doubt, one of her friends said.
Ann Kaplan, Overland Park junior, said she thought the Cardinals had lost their cool in Game 7 of the Series.
"And I hope they're embarrassed about it," she said.
Just before 2 p.m., Mike Lyons, known as "Mad Mike" to KU sports fans, announced that the championship caravan was approaching 26th Street and Memorial Drive. He led the crowd in chanting "The Royals Are Number One!" as the team members approached.
When all of the players had traversed the confetti-filled parade route to the Memorial, the rally began. Royals' radio announcer Denny Trease introduced Mayor Richard L. Berkley and the Royals' players and staff, who
Manager Dick Howser began the Royals' speechmaking by saying, "We appreciate the support not only in a championship season, but every year. We think we have the greatest fans in baseball, and we know we've got the best team right now, so just keep showing up."
made brief speeches to the large crowd.
All-Star third baseman George Brett also praised the fans.
"I want to thank all of you good people for your tremendous support," he said. "I want to thank the front office and management for what we do on us, thank Dick Howser for his own style of managing."
Perhaps the most popular
speaker was Bret Saberhagen, the World Series' Most Valuable Player and possible American League Cy Young award winner. Saberhagen's smile beamed, and he wore a gold paper crown as he rode through the parade.
"I want to thank everybody," he said when his turn to speak came. "If it wasn't for the 25 guys on this team, I wouldn't have the MVP award. It took 25 guys to get there and 25 guys to win it."
Before, during and after the parade, vendors eager to capitalize on the frenzy of fans peddled their wares along the city streets.
Glenn Brown, Easthampton Mass., ran a stand at the corner of
Kessler Road and Memorial Drive. People huddled around the table that was full of World Series and American League Championship Series mementos.
Some of the souvenir were marked down to move fast; the Cardinal stuff.
Brown said that after the Cardinals took a three-game-to-one lead in the Series, production began on pennants and buttons that proclaimed the Cardinals as World Champs.
"They'll be collectors' items in a year," he said. "I have a pennant from last year that shows the wrong team as champs that I paid $1 for and now it's worth $10."
