WC
Cleveland - 66-47
Baltimore - 2.5 GB
Kansas City - 3 GB
Toronto - 12 GB

Royals were 3 back of the WC and 4 back of the division, and were on fire in the 2nd half of the season. Kind of gets lost in history though because everyone talks about the Expos, who had the best record in baseball when the strike hit.
I still say the Royals made a mistake not staying in the AL West.
