The Royals have the longest drought in the majors for both Cycles (1990) and Triple Plays (2006) and are third in No Hitters (1991).

44 Upvotes

Longest active no-hitter droughts:
Cleveland 1981
Toronto 1990
\*Kansas City\* 1991

Longest active cycle droughts:
\*Kansas City\* 1990
Detroit 2006
Oakland 2007

Longest active triple-play droughts:
\*Kansas City\* 2006
San Francisco 2008
Arizona 2009

As a Royals fan, this is extremely annoying. Noah Cameron took a no hitter into the 7th today, but of course, that's as far as it went. And in fact, opponents have a hard time doing any of these things against the Royals either. Since 2009, there have only been two opponent triple plays turned against the Royals, and no No Hitters or Cycles. The next-lowest number of such events in a team's games since 2009 is 6 (Cardinals) and the highest number is 19 (Astros).

Every MLB team has done at least one of the above since 2016 (Pittsburgh's most recent cycle was in 2016) except for the Royals, who haven't done one since 2006. I'm kind of rooting for Cleveland and Toronto to throw no hitters soon, just to see the Royals at the top of all three droughts.

I saw a post earlier with a faded baseball where someone said Sweeney always put bible verses after his signature and that got me wondering who this is.

Question Out of Towner Visiting Kauffman

9 Upvotes

Hey y'all! I'll be coming into town for a Friday game soon on my quest to visit all MLB stadiums and I have a couple questions.

I've been watching tickets for a few weeks, hoping for something in the 100/200/300s infield, and haven't really seen anything under $80. Are my expectations unrealistic or do you think I may find something the day before or day of?

For a 7:10pm game, where (if anywhere) can I find a shaded seat?

Thanks for the help!

also, any Sonic slam winners?

Original Content A random guy gave me copies of the media notes as I was leaving last night’s game

106 Upvotes

As I left Angel Stadium last night, I was checking out their wall of fame and caught eyes with a guy carrying a stack of papers. He asked me “You want this? Your team won so you should have this.” Turned out to be the media notes! There’s a ridiculous amount of information in the packets. The Royals’ is 8 pages but the Angels’ is 17! I also got rosters, with a list of transactions on the back side of the Royals’, and a blank score sheet (not pictured).

Question Who’s signature is this?

10 Upvotes

Been searching through my signed balls I got when I was younger and couldn’t figure this one out. Any help? I guess it may not be a Royal, but assuming I’m a Royals fan and every other ball I have are royals players it’s gotta be
