As of this writing, the Royals have played 59 games and are once again competing with Baltimore for the first draft pick next summer (the nicest possible way to say they are nearly in last place). The Royals went into this season espousing speed, speed and more speed. And sure enough, the Royals lead all of baseball with 55 stolen bases, 12 bags ahead of any other team and lapping half of the teams in baseball. They also have speed, leading the majors in triples (26), and even have one inside-the-park home run to show for it. However, of the 256 runs scored this season, 101 have come as the result of the long-ball (excluding the ITPHR).
The Royals single-season home run record is in danger of being broken
