this was the last world series in which the designated hitter was not used in an american league baseball park. from 1976 to 1985, in even-numbered years, the dh would be used in all games. in odd-numbered years, like this world series, the pitchers from both were required to bat for themselves throughout the series. beginning with the next world series, the dh rule would be used only in games played at the american league representative's park. the royals became world series champions for the first time in their history; they would return to the series in 2014, in which they played the 2014 world series against the san francisco giants but lost in seven games. a year later in the 2015 world series, the royals would win their 2nd title against the new york mets.
1985 world series
mlb night games started being held in 1935 by the cincinnati reds, but the world series remained a strictly daytime event for years thereafter. in the final game of the 1949 world series, a series game was finished under lights for the first time. the first scheduled night world series game was game 4 of the 1971 world series at three rivers stadium. afterward, world series games were frequently scheduled at night, when television audiences were larger. game 6 of the 1987 world series was the last world series game played in the daytime, indoors at the metrodome in minnesota. (the last world series played outdoors during the day was the final game of the 1984 series in detroit's tiger stadium.)
