South Korea's Biggest Royals Fan Finally Goes To Kansas City
Sung Woo Lee was born and raised in South Korea, and yet the poor guy somehow got roped into cheering for the Kansas City Royals.

Sam Fuld Puts His Entire Body Into It, Throws Man Out At Home
In the fourth inning in Oakland, with runners on the corners, Mike Moustakas hit a liner to center field that was easily caught by Sam Fuld. Alex Gordon tried tagging up from third to score, but he did not account for Fuld's spinning, full-body throw and was nailed at home. It's almost graceful?...

Cocky Pigeons Think They Can Just Walk On The Field During Rays Game

In the bottom of the second inning today in Kansas City, Salvador Perez took a hack at Chris Young's 1-1 pitch, and fouled it straight back into the Royals broadcast booth.

Royals Fans In Cat Singlets Give Derek Jeter The Tribute He Deserves
The Derek Jeter Farewell Tour has thus far proven itself to be a breeding ground for fan-made signs that make us want to vomit. So it was refreshing to see two weirdo Royals fans, either knowingly or unknowingly, poking a little fun at the whole spectacle and building a tribute to Jeter around match...
Royals Ball Boy Fields Fair Ball, Compensates For It In The Best Way
Look at that face. That's the face of a kid dealing with screwing up on TV during an MLB game. Today, Royals Ball Boy scooped up Brian Roberts's fair ball, unwittingly turning the play into a ground-rule double for the Yankees. Thankfully, the tale of Royals Ball Boy doesn't end there....
Unlucky Norichika Aoki Gets Hit In Head With Throw Back To Mound

Nori Aoki Hit In Dick With Foul Pop
Oh, Nori. Poor, sweet, black-and-blue balled Nori. Days after swinging at a ball aimed at his chest, he took a ball to the dick while trying to track down a pop-up in foul territory. That look of anguish at the very end, oof. Poor guy's had a rough week....

The Diamondbacks Will Wear Kansas City Throwback Uniforms
Look at that. That's a damn fine uniform. Unis from a century ago were usually pretty great—white or gray, high socks, uncluttered chest logo, and my favorite, logo-less caps. The Diamondbacks will suit up in these bad boys next Wednesday, and they're going to look great, but it's more than little w...
Lorde Finally Met George Brett
We learned last year that Lorde's star-making single "Royals" was inspired by this 1976 photo of George Brett. Worlds re-collided in Las Vegas last night, where Lorde's camp had invited Brett to come hang out before her show....

Ned Yost Lacks Object Permanence
Let's set the scene. Yesterday's Royals-Tigers game, top of the eighth, two outs, and the tying run on second, and Alcides Escobar at the plate for Kansas City. Alcides Escobar was, by multiple respectable metrics, the single worst hitter in baseball last year. Manager Ned Yost allowed Escobar to hi...
Aroldis Chapman "Doing Better" After Taking 110 MPH Liner To Face
