Baltimore Avenue is getting an honorary name change thanks to the Boys in Blue.
KCMO City Communications Director Chris Hernandez told 41 Action News the city council voted unanimously for Baltimore Avenue to be renamed Royals Avenue during the playoffs.

The city said no actual signs will be changed; it is only an honorary name change.
Residents of Baltimore Ave. took to Twitter earlier in the week asking Mayor Sly James to rename their road.
@MayorSlyJames I live on Baltimore Ave in KCMO. How can we change the street name by Friday? #Royals#BlueOctober
