I grew up a huge baseball fan. But since I grew up in AL there was really no team to cheer for (I was never a Braves fan for some reason). Thus, I just followed individual players much more than teams.

See some playful banter between the fan bases here, and just wondering what the relationship is like.

Personally I have no problem with Kc fans, just live on the other side of the state.

Apparently Cards fans don't mind Royals fans but Royals fans can't stand Cards fans. Personally, I'm a Cards fan first and foremost but I've always thought of the Royals as my AL team.

Not trolling at all... swear to God.

As an outsider to the whole thing, it's very kansas/Mizzou-ish.

The good team shits all over the underachievers, and talks shite whenever the underachievers have any hope for the future or confidence in their team.

We forget they're there.

Every moment of their lives is consumed with thinking how overrated/lucky we are.

Trolololol

I root for both teams, but Royals are my team, if they face the Cardinals. I spend enough money on Mizzou apparel, so none goes to pro team clothing.

I buy the MLB extra innings every year to watch the Royals. They are my AL team. Been to the K to watch the Royals play outside of the Cards playing there.

Im not sure where the "rivalry" came from. May be the beaker contingent, not sure though.

I harbor no ill will towards any teams, unless they are playing the Cardinals.

I'm sure if the Royals and Cardinals played in the WS again, I'd probably hate them for a week or two depending on the outcome.

KC seemed like a whole different state to me growing up, that and the whole AL thing made them seem foreign to me. I was too busy hating the Mets back then anyway.
