If you look at the average attendance at a KC Royals game, you can't help but assume that the people of the greater Kansas City area just flat out don't give a crap about their baseball team.
In 2007, they averaged 19,961 people at their 81 home games, worst of any team outside of Florida. And KC doesn't have nearly the same good excuses that Florida has like... you could either go to a Rays game or lay by the ocean oogling hot chicks behind your sunglasses.
Trust us, wearing sunglasses and oogling chicks in Kansas City isn't that cool.
But just because the masses in KC are uninterested in going to see their perennially horrific team, doesn't mean that there aren't a handful of serious, hard core Royals fans out there. And say what you will about their fan base as a whole, but you've got to respect the fan who will drive 250 miles east to watch his last place team while dressed up like...
Royals 3B Alex Gordon, complete with glove and three-quarter sleeve undershirt...
We mean, like
really dressed up like Alex Gordon...
As in, he can pinch run if need be...
Hey, you absolutely never know when Trey Hillman is going to run out of players and look to the stands for some support. Gotta be ready.
