Adalberto Mondesi has been adored in Kansas City ever since making an unlikely major league debut for the KC Royals in the 2015 World Series. And his torrid September last year, when he hit .356, had a .408 OBP, and slugged .667, further endeared him to the fanbase.
His fans have little to cheer about this season, though. Injuries are responsible for Mondesi playing only 10 times prior to Wednesday night’s contest against Cleveland. His prolonged absences certainly haven’t helped the Royals; nor have they been good for his standing with some fans, many of whom publicly express their disappointment in him on a daily basis.
