And I respect the actual Royals fans like Duncan, al, George, Pete (lol), etc etc etc
But at least I can admit I've never had passion for a team that never gave me a reason to do so.
My two favorite players as a kid were Griffey and the big hurt...
When the Kingdome fell apart and Seattle had to play home games at Kaufmann my dad bought series tickets so I could get #24s autograph but the asshole didn't sign.
The unit was signing...I was 9...he started walking away when I was next in line so being the dipshit I am I rolled my baseball down the dugout and it hit him in the head...he turned around in anger, saw that I was a little kid, and signed 1 more...
That's about the best memory I had from the K. Or the time when I was even younger and I was yelling at George Brett to throw me a ball...he was playing 1st...just being an annoying little **** when they were warming up. So they tell balls in...and Brett lobs the ball at the track...I'm thinking it's just going in the dugout...but he actually was bouncing it up to me and sure enough it hit me right in the face
I miss being a kid.
