The ALCS battles between the Royals and Yankees, especially in 1976 and 1977, were all-time classics. It's true, the Royals wouldn't "stay dead" -- they always had just a little bit more fight left in them -- but those Yankee teams were clutch. They won both of those series by scoring in the ninth inning of the fifth (and deciding) game.
The 1978 and 1980 series were less close, but both had their unforgettable moments as well.
In OOTP, I've replayed the 1977 and 1978 Royals several times each. The Yankees give them fits even in OOTP. The righty-lefty combos the Yankees had just made them a tough matchup for those KC teams.
