Long Suffering Royals Fans
For ten years I had a personal website georgeblowfish.com. I had a page on the Chiefs, and that's how the CP found me and invited me to come hang out here. I also blogged the Royals on a Daily Basis from around 1998 to 2009.
I closed my website and my online radio station (Radblow) because they were too much work with my job. Today I was looking for a picture of my old pal Gary when we were young at Royals Stadium. Haven't found that one, but I did find a picture of me with Dorsey the Right Field Beer man from 1985. I have lots of pictures from my website as I blogged the Royals. Many of them documented the Royals soul crushing futility of those dark days. In fact, in 2007, I made a little video. It's posted below. Thank goodness we can exorcise those days for good! Enjoy how far we've come from then: View My Video |

Here's my good pal Gary and me in Sports Illustrated at Opening Day 1990. Back then we would have laughed and called you crazy if you'd have said "you'll have to wait 24 years to see the Royals in the playoffs."
Amazing how fast time slips away. Gary's the one drinking the beer. |

Here's a pic of me with Joe Hess. If you don't know who Joe Hess was, he was a fixture in the front row of old Right Field GA at the Royals games for years. They called him "Royals Santa." When he passed away, the Royals put a plaque on his old seat, kind of like they did for Buck O'Neil. He was a retired inspector, and a great Royals fan. One of the best ever. This picture was from 1985.

Did you notice on Dorsey's the beer man's shirt, beer was $1.60 each? And we thought that was outrageous then!

What's the story on the first one? I've seen relatively empty stadiums, but damn...
