I come from a somewhat unique generation of Royals fans. It seems that most Royals fans who converged onto the scene in 2014 and 2015 were primarily made up of two demographics. There were the fans that had been waiting since 1985 for the Royals to return to glory and there were the fans who weren’t huge baseball fans before Kansas City started winning games.
I was neither. I grew up on the early 2000’s Royals, so my earliest baseball memories are somewhat horrific. The best baseball memory I had as a child was the 2003 season and the Opening Day walk-off in 2004.
