Success in Kansas City has made some unlikely celebrities. First there was Superfan Chris Coats, who gained fame largely by following a then-struggling KC Royals team on the road. He was soon followed by Royalman Troy Olsen.
Then the team began to win and even more fan celebrities popped up: Royals Pope has made several appearances; Marlins Man Laurence Leavy makes appearances at all sporting events but has been a Kansas City favorite and even attended Fan Fest in January; Craig Rookstool, better known as “Moose Man,” runs around Kauffman with antlers and landed a spot in a prominent advertisement last fall.
