Kansas City Royals outfield Jonny Gomes steals the show at the team’s victory parade with an emotionally charged, American flag-waving speech

The Kansas City Royals had their victory parade on Tuesday and the highlight of the day came from outfielder Jonny Gomes, who delivered a highly emotional speech praising his teammates.

Gomes, paced the stage waving an American flag and started things off with a moment of silence for the passing of Mike Moustakas’ mother, Chris Young’s father and Ednison Volquez’s father. All three lost these loved ones within the past four months.

From there Gomes went on to build his team up, while taking a shot or two at the teams and players they beat along the way to the championship.

"“Hey guess what? Cy Young winner, not on our team. Beat him! Rookie of the year. Not on our team. We beat him. MVP of the whole league. Sorry guys, not on our team. But we beat that guy too!”"

This was the second World Series title for Gomes, who was traded to Kansas City from Atlanta in August of this year for a minor league infielder. He was a part of the Boston Red Sox team that won the title in 2013.
