PHOTOS: Reliving the Royals' sweep of the Orioles with newspaper headlines

Kansas City Royals fans are likely still pinching themselves Thursday morning after their team secured a date in the World Series for the first time in 29 years.

Lucky for them, local papers in Missouri have proof the Royals did in fact complete their improbable sweep of the Baltimore Orioles on Wednesday.

Here are some of the iconic front page images and headlines from Kansas City's remarkable AL Championship Series victory.

The Baltimore Sun was less enthused, capturing the moment with one word no Orioles fan wanted to hear two weeks into October.
