I was kinda stumped for a player that was both a Royal and Giant, at least one that I had a page of. Then a little serendipity happened
yesterday when I looked at Barry Bonds' page in my retired player book...

| look ^^^^ right there. |
Vida Blue! Of course! Well, in the grand scheme of things, I am sure he would rather forget his
underwhelming time in Kansas City (cocaine is a hell of a drug...). And yes, there are
others who have done this but this was the only page I found that had a player with both teams (though now that I look at that list, I am pretty sure I could have gone with a Gaylord Perry
page as well).
As you may or may not know, before these playoffs started, I threw
my support behind the Kansas City Royals.
I am not about to spoil a good thing while it is going so well or jump off a bandwagon that is oh so comfy. Since I have no true rooting interest in this series, I just want a seven game set full of cliffhanger games and things that amaze and astound. And if the fans of a sadsack mid-western team can get off a 29-year schneid, all the better. It will give me some hope for my sadsack east coast team.

Oh, curious about the
title to this post? Well, everyone can't help themselves but to use some line
from, or even
debase, that "Royals"
song by Lorde, but why has no one
embraced (or denounced) anything by the venerable indie
band They Might Be Giants? Everything right is wrong
again.
