The Kansas City Royals are 1 of 5 teams - along with the Minnesota Twins, the Detroit Tigers, the Chicago White Sox, and the Cleveland Indians - that play in the Central Division of the 14-team American League, though for the better part of the franchise's history (from 1969 to 1993) they were part of the West Division, only moving to the Central Division in 1994.
The Kansas City Royals played, and won, their first game on April 8, 1969 against the Minnesota Twins; the first batter, hit, and run from that game was by Lou Piniella.

The Indians have a popular interleague rivalry called the I-70 Series (or the Show-Me Series, for obvious reasons) with fellow Missourians, the St. Louis Cardinals.
