Does winning the World Series still count if you beat the New York Mets?

Around this time nine years ago, the Royals had just wrapped up a third straight 100-loss season, were the laughingstock of baseball and, adding insult to injury, had a pathetic farm system [and you thought that this year's Mariner team was bad!]. Then the Royals hired Dayton Moore, a man with an extensive player development background. For example, he was with the Atlanta Braves during the majority of their run of 14 consecutive playoff appearances [and a World Series title in 1995]. Anyways, since, 2006, the Royals Win-Loss Record has improved each year because of this one reason: They developed players that, individually, you wouldn't think much of them, but when they are put together as one team, they are an incredible ball club. I cannot give any one example because they are all the same. So, does winning the World Series still count if you beat the New York Mets? Yes it does, don't be stupid. Congrats Kansas City, you finally have a baseball team 30 years in the making!
