Why they might be annoying
The city of Kansas City was granted a baseball team after the Athletics ownership/management left for Oakland.
They have a waterfall in center field.
They were eliminated by the Yankees in the playoffs in three straight years (1976, 77, 78).
Trailing 4-3, with two outs iun the top of the ninth against the NY Yankees, George Brett used too much pine tar on his bat.
He hit a two run home run, and it was ruled the final out of the game rather than the go ahead run. (July 24, 1983).
After spending a good part of the 2003 season at first place in the Central Division, they ended up falling to third place behind the Twins and White Sox.
Why they might not be annoying
They won their first game 4-3 in extra innings.
Lou Pinella won the Rookie of the Year as a Royal.
They came close to beating the New York Yankees in their first post season appearance (1976).
They won over 100 games in their 8th season (1977).
After further review by baseball's officials, it was ruled that Brett was not using too much pine tar. The game continued with KC leading 5-4 and eventually winning (August 18, 1983).
They won their only World Series in a game 7 after Bret Saberhagen pitched a five-hit shutout.
In his first year as a manager, Tony Pena turned the Royals into a contender and even won the AL Manager of the Year (2003).
