Baseball season is in full swing and the Kansas City Royals are back, and just as exciting to watch as always. The defending champions have already had their fair share of setbacks, but just like the Royals are known for doing, they push through it. Enjoy this short list of reasons to love your Kansas City Royals.
1. Salvy's famous post game ice baths
Everyone knows it is coming and someone different always receives it.The Salvy ice bath to the player of the game. Nothing is greater than seeing Salvy bright eyed and smiling running out of the dugout with the giant cooler.
2. Wade Davis
One of the best if not the best closer in the MLB. The name Wade Davis is sure to send shivers down a batter's spine. The man has one of the nastiest change-ups known to man.
3. Dugout Interactions
It doesn't matter who is in the dugout there is always some sort of celebration or personal handshake going down. It is very entertaining to watch as well.
4. The comebacks
Down seven to one in the ninth against the Chicago White Sox, and missing a few of our starters to top it off. No problem! The good ol' boys in blue pulled out a win! There is never a dull moment of baseball with this team.
5. Hosmer
Sure he is a good ball player, but he also drives the ladies crazy. Eric Hosmer is one fine looking fella.
6. Whit Merrifield
This guy can do it all. Plays anywhere on the field, can hit well, and has impeccable sense of the game. He is currently on a seven game multi hit streak in his first 11 MLB starts. Could he be the one to fill the hole of the missing Ben Zobrist?
Although they still look rocky at times, there is nothing better than watching some Royals baseball. Can we repeat the World Series win for a third straight trip and a second straight win? Only time will tell.
