Joe Posnanski used to be a columnist for the Kansas City Star until recently when he moved on to Sports Illustrated. He still writes for The Star occasionally but his blog regularly features pieces about the hometown teams. Since spring training has started and the first Cactus League game is tomorrow there is the usual amount of optimism surrounding the Royals. They will probably suck. They might suck comically. It’s possible they will embarrass themselves and the city. But this time of year there is always a chance. With that in mind, you should check out Joe:
I took the plunge and bought Royals season tickets. Well, check that, I only bought the 21-game pass — I mean, hey, I’m not CRAZY or anything — but that still does make our family official Royals season ticket holders.* This was punctuated by an email from the Royals stating that, as season ticket holders, we are entitled to buy more tickets, which I must admit does not seem like much of a perk.
*I’m not all that crazy about parents who go around saying “Oh, our child said the cutest thing today,” but I must share with you our 5 year old Katie’s reaction when we told her that we bought Royals season tickets. She said, and I quote: “I’d rather go to Hawaii.”
