friend: those royals are the shizze!

friend: wahhh? no way!
me: yes.
friend: why do they suck? i love ’em!
me: name one player on their team!
friend: ummmm….ok.
a major league baseball team that was started by ewing kaufmann in 1973 in kansas city, missouri, which had been the home of the legendary negro league champions, the kc monarchs (1920 – 1962) – jackie robinson, satchel paige, buck o’neil, etc.

at first, the royals lived up to the level of excellence set by the monarchs. from 1973-1993, they won ten american league west penants, lost one world series to the philadelphia phillies in 1980 and came back five years later to beat the st. louis cardinals in the i-70 series. in 1980, third baseman george brett had over a .400 batting average.

other royals megastars in the first two decades were:
1) willie wilson
2) bret saberhagen
3) frank white
4) al hrabosky, the mad hungarian
5) jorge orta
6) dane iorg
7) bo jackson

after 1993, the royals went into a slump and became one of the worst teams in mlb. this has been acutely painful to watch, if you were a fan of royals baseball in the 1970s and 1980s.
the decline of the once great kansas city royals has been like watching a shakespearean tragedy. it’s sad to see a team that was once at the top of the mlb fall to the bottom.

the kansas city royals consistently beat the yankees in the ’70s and ’80s even with half their budget. this gave hope to kids across the country that baseball was fair and honest. anyone with talent could rise to the top. today that hope is lost.
a team that has won one world series, but due to the m-ssive inferiority complex of the fans towards the st. louis cardinals, this fact is mentioned more than the ten cardinals world series wins (including 2006) combined.
cardinal fan: so i see that the kansas city royals are in last place again. i hear that so-and-so from usc would be a good number one pick for you guys, though.
royal fan: remember ’85.
cardinal fan: no, i do not remember 1985, seeing as i wasn’t born, and you were not born either.
royal fan: remember ’85.
cardinal fan: okay, fine, take 1985. the cardinals have won ten championships. nine more than you guys have.
royal fan: remember ’85.
’04 playoff team, for sure
go royals
