The Resume

    (1969- )
    Root for the Kansas City Royals
    Attend home games at Kaufmann Stadium formerly Royal Stadium (April 10, 1973- )
    Capacity: 40,625
    Cheered their team to a World Series title in 1985

Why they might be annoying:

    They root for what might be the least publicized team in pro baseball.
    Their team has been on the receiving end of 2 crazed attacks from White Sox fans.
    Sometimes they jump into the fountains behind the center field fence.
    Their team is the only team to lose to the Phillies in a World Series.
    Despite benefiting from a tax on the higher payroll teams, rarely do they see the additional revenue use to purchase free agents.
    They sat in the first AL stadium with Astroturf.
    During a game, some fans protested Yankee spending by throwing fake money at the Yankee players.
    During the Royals 19 game losing streak, some showed up with signs and shirts saying 'We Live To Lose (August 2005).'

Why they might not be annoying:

    Former Kansas City Athletic fans were happy to get a replacement home team.
    They enjoy a great cross-state rivalry with the St. Louis Cardinals.
    Visiting ball players and fans rave about the incredible steak houses in the area.
    There ball park was considered one of the most beautiful stadiums featuring waterfalls and fountains.
    They sit in (what is considered) the first modern ball park.
    Rather than share their stadium with the Kansas City Chiefs, each got a separate stadium.
