I was at the grocery store the other day, and the lady working at the register pointed to my Royals hat and asked if I thought they’d be any good this year. She admitted she doesn’t follow baseball very closely and is a fan of a different team anyway, so I broke the news to her that they had lost 100 games the past two seasons and were in danger of doing it again, in my opinion. She smiled and said, “Well, practice makes perfect.”
I laughed at that much harder than I should have. I’m here to tell you, I have it on good authority from a grocery checker that all the Royals need is a bit of practice.
