2012 Quarry Unlimited - #2 Kansas City Royals Part 1

The #2 team on my countdown, the Kansas City Royals, have made a meteoric rise from the depths of 1985.  The Royals would have come in at #25 (out of 26 teams) back then with only the Dodgers lower on my list.  I was a big Cardinals fan back then and the Royals "stole" the 1985 World Series from them.  They have since slowly worked their way up my favorite teams list.  What a difference 27 years makes.  The Cardinals are no longer my favorite team and the Royals are #2 which would be a jump from last year when they were probably #6 or #7.  Why the jump?  Because the closest professional team to me is the single A Lexington Legends.  After being affiliated with the Astros since their inception in 2001, the Legends are now a Royals affiliate.  Of course, there is also the fact that they are "lovable losers" or the underdog or whatever you want to call it.  Let's take a look at the Royals of 2012 and some if I were a Royals fan trivia.
