COOPERSTOWN, N.Y. (AP) - The Kansas City Royals are World Series champions, and they're donating several artifacts to the Baseball Hall of Fame for a new exhibit dubbed Autumn Glory.
Among items to be placed on display later this month is the jersey worn by first baseman Eric Hosmer on Sunday night when he scored the tying run in the ninth inning.
Also included are the glove used by Royals catcher and World Series MVP Salvador Perez, the road cap worn by Royals closer Wade Davis, who struck out eight batters in four innings and notched the Series' only save, and bats used by Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas and shortstop Alcides Escobar.
The Royals beat the New York Mets 7-2 on Sunday night to take the series in five games.
