The Kansas City Royals celebrated their stunning upset victory in the American League Division Series not by going to Disney World, but rather by partying with fans at a local bar.

Once at the bar, Hosmer then covered everyone's tabs for an hour out of his own pocket, according to the local KSHB network.
