My problem with the Royals lies exclusively with Herk Robinson's infamous "we have American League fans" garbage when the Royals had a chance to move to the NL and be relevant again. The Cards would've come to KC a few times a year, the Royals could've competed in the NL where the lack of the DH keeps costs a little lower and everyone would be happy.
Instead Herk Robinson uttered quite possibly the dumbest thing I've ever heard, David Glass (or whichever idiot in a suit was running the team at the time) clearly bought said nonsense and now the Royals are still in the AL Central getting their heads kicked in and are still as irrelevant as ever.
But I'm sure those 'American League' fans don't mind.

Other than the Cardinals and Cubs coming in, the AL is the better league to be in for KC. The better teams are in the AL, yeah the Royals might have a better chance at winning but for MLB it was the smarter decision for the Royals to stay in the AL. KC's been an AL market since the 50's.
