I did not know the name of a single player on the Royal's roster until they made it into the playoffs. I haven't paid much attention to the Royals, or professional baseball for that matter, in twenty years - probably more! But now it is time for me to jump back on the bandwagon.
I need to say something in defense of my 'bandwagon, fair weather fan' ways. I do remember, vividly, the last the time the Royals were in the World Series and how crazy things got when they won it. I also have one more tidbit to share. I was at the very first World Series game played in Kansas City. And the Royals won. Unfortunately, they ended up losing to Philadelphia in six. Well, that's about all I got.
One last thing, and this is coming from my own personal point of view, the Royals will be even money or maybe plus five or so when the line breaks on the Series. If any of you out there in Royal land are interested in that kind of stuff, let me know. Go Royals!
