The Kansas City Royals and Toronto Blue Jays will begin an assuredly headed ALCS showdown on Friday night in K.C. (airing on FOX and the FS GO app at 7:30 p.m. Eastern), and anticipation is high.

Check it out:

If that won't get you in the mood for a powerhouse clash between two of the AL's top clubs this season, nothing will...unless you just aren't a fan of baseball-themed hip/hop.
