last year one of my professors saw me walk into class, and he exclaimed, "now there is a man of faith." he said this because of the shirt i was wearing. and no, it was not a christian t-shirt.
wearing a royals jersey in october sets you apart, even in kansas city.
why do i still believe in the royals?
- my earliest memory is watching bret saberhagen pitch in game seven of the 1985 world series.
- my sons wanted to read the 2006 royals program guide before bedtime tonight.
- being from nebraska, how can i not believe in alex gordan?
- the odds are, at least one decent pitcher will come through the ranks. maybe this year.
- maybe this year.
and so i ask, who cares if the fantasy top 100 players include a total of 0 royals?
who cares if we have to face the red sox on opening day?
who cares if you could field just about an entire all-star team of former royals now playing elsewhere?
who cares if i like powder blue?
i believe.

Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never Is, but always To be blest:
The soul, uneasy and confin'd from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come.
