After Game-Winning Hit, the Royals’ Eric Hosmer Takes Traditional KC BBQ Sauce Pie to the Face (Video)
Normally when a pro ballplayer gets the big hit that wins the game for his team, he gets either a bucket of gatorade dumped on his head or a shaving cream pie stuffed in his face. However, the Kansas City Royals do things a little differently. Apparently they’ve decided to give their victory tradition more [...]

Some Kid Stole a Ball from a Smoking Hot Blonde at the Royals Game Last Night (Video)
If you expect a Major League Baseball player to toss you a foul ball at a baseball game, you’d better make sure you’re either a cute kid of a smoking hot chick. Hey, don’t blame me. I don’t make the rules. I just report the facts. Anyway, last night in Kansas City, during the Royals-Twins [...]

Only in Texas: Rangers and Royals Players Compete In Cow Milking Contest (Video)
If I told you that real life professional baseball players recently took part in an egg-tossing and cow-milking contest before a game as part of a promotion called “Ranch Day,” you would probably assume this was at some single-A ballpark where they also have donut-wrapped hot dogs and 40-ounce beers served in sombreros—you know, a [...]

Lightning Strikes Gateway Arch During Rain Delay Between Royals and Cardinals (Video)
These days, it seems as though rain delays in Major League Baseball are actually producing more highlights than the games themselves. On Wednesday, there was that battle between the tarp and the Texas Rangers grounds crew, which was awfully one-sided in favor of the tarp. And yesterday, during a delay in a game between the [...]

Royals Fan Runs onto Field and Steals Rosin Bag from Pitching Mound (Video)
I know we’re supposed to disapprove of fans running onto the field. We’re supposed to wag our metaphorical fingers at them and say they are a disgrace. But I can’t do it. Do I sympathize with the players, who probably experience a little rush of anxiety every time some goofball has a few too many [...]

Royals Fan Flips the Double Bird (GIF)
The Kansas City Royals have gotten off to a solid start this season, having won five of their first eight games, and each of their first two at home. That has them sitting atop the Central Division as of this afternoon—yeah, I know it’s early—and their early success has also provided the fans in Kauffman Stadium with [...]

Giant Wiener Takes a Spill During Hot Dog Race on Opening Day at Kauffman Stadium (Video)
I have no idea how their fans feel about the upcoming season, but the Kansas City Royals’ management certainly thinks this could be the year that they finally end their losing ways and make it back to the postseason for the first time since they miraculously won the World Series in 1985. In the offseason [...]

Jeff Francoeur Snatches Popcorn From A Fan (Video)
Chasing fly balls around the outfield is enough to make anyone hungry, including Kansas City Royals’ right-fielder, Jeff Francoeur. The man they call “Frenchy” has been building his reputation as a fan favorite not only in Kansas City, but around the entire MLB this season. It started in Oakland, when Francoeur sponsored the A’s fans’ [...]

Royals Closer Jonathan Broxton Has Some Big Pants To Fill (Video)
Kansas City Royals closer Jonathan Broxton is 1-1 with a 1.99 ERA, and he has successfully converted on 21 of his 24 save opportunities this season. At a whopping 6’4″, 300-pounds, it goes without saying that his absence from the Royals lineup would leave the rest of his team with some rather big shoes pants [...]

Jeff Francoeur Delivered 20 Pizzas And A Signed Bat To The A’s Bacon Tuesday Fans (Video)
It is athletes like Jeff Francoeur that make being a sports fan worthwhile. Yesterday we told you the story about how the Kansas City Royals’ right fielder donated $100 for “beers and bacon dogs” to the fans in section 149 of the Oakland Coliseum during “Bacon Tuesday” last season. That generous donation made him this [...]

Jeff Francoeur Sponsored The Second Annual Bacon Tuesday In Oakland (Video)
Last year the fans in section 149 of the Oakland Coliseum held the first ever Bacon Tuesday. During that game, they offered Kansas City Royals’ right fielder Jeff Francoeur a plate of bacon. In return, Francoeur tossed the men a baseball with a $100 bill wrapped around it and told them “beer or bacon dog [...]

Right Fielder Jeff Francoeur Throws Out Michael Taylor At First (Video)
Jogging lackadaisically to first base on a line drive to right field may not be such a big deal in the Minors, but that type of effort simply will not cut it in the Majors. Especially when Jeff Francoeur is manning the green grass in right field. Oakland A’s rookie Michael Taylor learned that lesson [...]

This Is The Cutest Thing You Will Ever See At A Baseball Game (Video)
Who says little kids are too young to fall in love? I’d like to see you try and tell that to the young Yankees fan in the video below, who received a souvenir from a kind young Royals fan during last night’s game at Kauffman Stadium. I may not be a love doctor by any [...]

Watch This Member Of The Royals Grounds Crew Narrowly Avoid Getting Steamrolled (Video)
The grounds crew at Kansas City’s Kauffman Stadium were prepared for incoming thunder storms during yesterday’s game between the Royals and the White Sox. What they weren’t prepared for, however, was the accompanying gusts of wind, and that nearly resulted in a rather unfortunate incident for one grounds crew member, who went up and over [...]

Cirque du Soliel Performer Throws Out Opening Pitch (Video)
When an opening pitch earns a spot on the nightly highlight package, nine times out of ten it is for all the wrong reasons. But when we are treated to that other one-out-of-ten, it can be quite remarkable. Take last night’s game between the Kansas City Royals and the San Diego Padres at Petco Park, [...]
