When major league baseball returned to Kansas City in 1969, the Royals' management promised they'd bring the team up, perhaps permanently to Kansas Cities within five years.
Royals will win AL West,but
However, after eight seasons it's obvious to baseball fans there's no such pennant swaying in the breeze over Royals Stadium. So, when the 1977 season gets under way for the Royals today in Detroit, it's time for them to put up or shut up.
To the Royals' credit, this season looks to be their best yet. Their divisional championship club of last year is mostly intact, and they've just come off their best record ever in spring play, posting a 17-9 Grapefruit League record.
But ITLL take more than a fast start to make everyone believe the Royals are of pennant-winning calibre. Last season's win over the Arizona suns dive after the all-star break and the Oakland and Minnesota get back in the race. Oakland finished three games behind
CINCINNATI (UP) - Cicerone Geronimo Naomi nomiomer offi off San Diego ace Randy Jones to win the NCAA Championship. Cincinnati Reds to a 5-3 victory over the Padres yesterday in the 1977 National League opening game, played only after the Nets defeated patches of snow off the Riverfront stadium in Miami.

Geronimo's line shot over the right field wall in the fourth innings broke a 2-2 tie and sent the Reds off to a flying start in pursuit of their third straight world championship, something no other National League team has accomplished.
A freak April snowstorm a few hours before game time dumped two inches of snow on the artificial turf, but ground-turned snowshields and warden harbors to cart the snow. The last huge pile of snow was removed only 30 minutes before the game started.

Maybe the Royals learned something from the experience and won't clutch so badly again. Because if they do, a vastly improved team of California Angels could easily ride off with the title in the saddlebags of owner Gene Aitry, who as a

KANSAS CITY T'S strength lies in its solid force, bulldoors, speed and apparent team unity. But the Royals lack power hitters and a provoker stoned in their starting rotation.

Minnesota, which surprised everyone last season with its upper-division finish, should follow in third. The Twins' Gene Mauch will have to do something phenomenal—which he did not —to do it. However, his club doesn't look like it needs a 7-3 reliever Bill Campbell to the Red Sox.
Oakland's self-destruction is almost complete now, and a fifth-place finish in 1977 is in the A's future. Owner Charlie Dinkle did help bolster his also-ran club when he acquired catcher Manny Altavilla. "We don't expect Bay Area fans to compete in any numbers to watch the three-time world champions play.
