Royals Advance to World Series
BERMAN: Interesting details this morning concerning the investigation into the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Missouri. The "St. Louis Post-Dispatch" spoke with one witness who says he testified before the grand jury. This witness says that Officer Darren Wilson did not shoot until the unarmed teen turned toward him. That Brown's arms were out to his sides, not high in the air and that he staggered toward Wilson despite orders to stop. The grand jury is trying to decide if the officer should face criminal charges.</s>ROMANS: Forensic evidence confirms that the body of a John Doe exhumed in Alabama is not one of the FBI's most wanted fugitives who was just profiled on the CNN show, "THE HUNT". FBI officials believe the man who died in a hit and run crash in 1981 was William Bradford Bishop Jr., wanted for killing his mother, his wife and their children. But the FBI released a statement Wednesday saying the body is not Bishop.</s>BERMAN: All right. The Kansas City Royals might never lose again. They completed a sweep of the Baltimore Orioles last night to win the American League pennant. They will go to the World Series for the first time in 29 years. Where were you in 1985, Christine Romans? They won eight games in a row. That is a playoff record. They will face either the San Francisco Giants or the St. Louis Cardinals in the World Series. The Giants now lead the NLCS, 3-1. They beat the Cards last night, and they can close out the series with a win in game five today. Kansas City is nuts. I mean, this team was not good for a long, long time. And now, they simply cannot lose. Some people say they are a team of destiny.</s>ROMANS: Where were you in 1985?
