I think we’re all familiar with the pop culture definition of insanity by now. Of course, that isn’t the real definition, but it remains part of the cultural zeitgeist because it’s pithy, yes, but also because it feels honest. That said, after years and years of meeting that definition, the Royals finally decided to change things up this past off-season. Not much, but a little. Many Royals fans, including myself, were figuratively dancing in the streets at even this small progress.
We should have remembered the wise words of Buddy Bell.
It’s one thing to root for the team when they’re bad.
