The Kansas City Royals have been pretty, pretty, pretty bad in 2018. Up until their most recent sweep of Baltimore, they were battling for the first overall pick in the 2019 MLB Draft. Bad baseball is not always hard to watch, though. You go out and watch your 10-year old nephew play once in a while, right?
I’m kidding. My point is that watching kids struggle on a baseball field is much more enjoyable than watching old men struggle on a baseball field. Would you rather spend $100 watching Lucas Duda and Alcides Escobar waddle around the field, or Brett Phillips and Adalberto Mondesi fly around the field?
