The Kansas City Royals :
Kansas City has had a love-hate relationship with the Royals for decades. With more losses than wins last year and the World Series win dating back to 1985, it's no wonder the Royals are Kansas City's lovable losers. With Spring training in Surprise, Arizona coming to an end, this season has been coined a "rebuilding" year. That said, Royals games are always fun to attend. Kauffman Stadium is newly redone and the crowd always seems to have a great time (even if they aren't exactly winning!).
