Nice to see the Royals recognized in legal opinions.
This is awesome. The case is a rather dry one where in this phrase: “relating to aggravated sexual abuse, sexual abuse, or abusive sexual conduct involving a minor or ward.” does "involving a minor or ward" apply to only the third item in the list, or all 3? (The court said only the last item by a vote of 6-2)

To make that point, Sotomayor (who is a huge Yankees fan) wrote this:

For example, imagine you are the general manager of the Yankees and you are rounding out your 2016 roster. You tell your scouts to find a defensive catcher, a quick-footed shortstop, or a pitcher from last year’s World Champion Kansas City Royals. It would be natural for your scouts to confine their search for a pitcher to last year’s championship team, but to look more broadly for catchers and shortstops.
