'Wilmington Blue Rocks Tickets'

'The Wilmington Blue Rocks, the Class-A advanced affiliate of the Kansas City Royals has been a successful franchise since the team was founded in 1940. Initially an affiliate of the Philadelphia A's, the team remained with Philadelphia's Major League organization when the A's moved to Oakland and the Phillies were created. The Royals became the parent organization for the team prior to the 1993 season, and with the exception of the 2004-2005 season, the Royals have maintained their relationships with the Blue Rocks since. Since 1993, the Blue Rocks have been a perennial playoff contender having made the postseason every year between 1993 and 1996. During that span, they won two Carolina League championships. The team would go on to win two more league titles in 1998 and 2000. Last season, the team won their fifth Carolina League championship as an affiliate of the Royals after putting up a record of 82-56.
