Today’s matchup brings us the first (of 200) meetings between the White Sox and Royals in 2021.
The KC Royals have plenty in common with the British Royals: They’re led by people a little TOO nosy and religious, they’re scared of Oprah, and they peaked in 2015 (KC with a World Series and the British with the birth of Princess Charlotte).
Some changes to the Royals since we last saw them include the addition of Patrick Mahomes to their ownership, Andrew Benintendi to their lineup, and Ervin Santana to Triple-A Omaha. Certified baseball genius Mike Matheny still heads up the Royals, and no word on how his book sales go.
