1. The 2014 Wildcard game was the greatest playoff game ever
I could watch this GIF over and over again.....
2. Bo Jackson is a legit superhero
And yes, we knew who Bo was before the 30 for 30 did the documentary about him. He's an honest to God urban legend in KC.
3. Hatred for the Cardinals, Yankees and White Sox run deep
Sure, the Royals MIGHT have started a couple of little tussles, but like the other teams deserved it right?
4. On that note... we will always remember what you did Robinson Cano
Boy, the Home Run Derby is nothing serious just let good ol Country Breakfast have his chance. Yes, he wasn't the greatest hitter, yes, he def was gonna do nothing for your team, but come on! It's our hometown dude.
5. You've probably had some random run-in with a player out and about
Yesterday, I got a phone call from my mom. She was excited and frantic because she just saw Danny Duffy walking around when she was running errands. It's funny to see them out of uniform, but it reminds you that they're people too.
6. You know "Friends in Low Places" by heart even if you despise the damn song
Controversial opinion, I'm glad they changed up the 7th inning stretch song.
7. Tailgating is not just relegated to football season
KC knows how to have a fun time. Get us a grill, Boulevard and some hot dogs we gonna do it right.
8. You have so many random T-Shirt Tuesday Royals shirts you could start your own team with them
9. The 2014 World Series loss stings a little still
WHY DIDN'T YOU AT LEAST TRY TO SEND GORDON HOME MIKE!!!!
10. You know someone, who knows someone, who is connected to George Brett
The man, the myth, the Kansas City version of Kevin Bacon.
11. Salvi is the greatest team mascot
Salvi splash is iconic at this point. Also......
May his bromance with LoLo live on.
12. Family Funday Sunday was the best when you were a kid
Even tho...
13. Day games in the Kansas City summertime are straight brutal
Oh, don't mind me, I'm just melting in this 100-degree weather with 95% humidity and no wind.
14. You know, "That's what speed do," is the best baseball catchphrase
Oh Jarrod, you are dearly missed, my friend.
15. You know who Billy Martin is and what happened to him when he snitched
They get stitches, Billy.
16. The number 30 will always represent the terrible loss in the Royal family
We miss you a lot, Ace.
17. Through the good, the bad and the ugly true blue fans are family and we stick with our team
We've been there through the awful managers, being a farm team for teams with more money, sending a single relief pitcher to the All-Star Game and 100 + loss records. It might be tough times, but we love our team because we were born and raised Royal.
