With the Kansas City Royals clinching the ALCS on Friday at Kauffman Stadium, the 2015 World Series is now set. The Royals, who knocked off the Toronto Blue Jays in six games, will meet the National League champion New York Mets, who swept the Chicago Cubs in the NLCS.
For the Royals, it’s a quick return to the World Series after falling in seven games to the San Francisco Giants last season. Prior to that, the Royals had not appeared in a World Series since 1985. Overall, this will be their fourth World Series appearance, with their lone championship coming in 1985. For the Mets, this will be their fourth World Series appearance and their first since 2000. They have won it twice, in 1969 and 1986.

This will be the first time the Royals and Mets have met in the World Series. In fact, this is first time a World Series didn’t include at least one team that existed in 1903, which is the first year the World Series was played.
Here’s a look at where and when this series will take place.
