At Last, Hope for the Royals

By CHRIS RASMUSSEN

For more than a decade, watching the most generic of losing teams, Royals fans have been hopeless.

We’re so used to losing that we can’t even imagine winning. It’s not that fans hate the current product. Some are just apathetic; others accept it, believing it’s not possible to field a winning baseball team in this town because we’re too small a market. They accept and therefore enable the flinty indifference of David Glass, discounting the recent success of the A’s, the Rays and the Twins, who aren’t exactly baseball’s financial behemoths.

Thankfully — and not too late for Kansas City baseball’s future — David Glass is doing what he should have done a decade ago.
