Buddy Bell is famous (or perhaps infamous) for saying “I never say it can’t get worse. This game is too hard to play. There’s always something lurking around the corner.” After fans suffered through the early 2000s Royals at the turn of the millenium, we thought those depths were inconceivable and unreachable again. Terms like “laughingstock” were thrown around and the Royals were mostly known as a cheap team that suffered decades of ineptitude since winning their first World Series in 1985. Ol’ Buddy couldn’t even be tortured into saying it won’t get worse at some point, even if he wouldn’t be around to see it inevitably.
Where do the 2019 Royals rank in team history?
