You can't make this stuff up

Here are the highlights of the off-season/spring training for the Royals:

Man sues Royals mascot for throwing a hot dog at his eye.

Top prospect Danny Duffy decides he'd rather not play professional baseball anymore.

Royals sign Brian Anderson to a $700,000 major-league contract as a centerfielder. Anderson decides he wants to be a pitcher and is sent to the low minors.


Of course, the Royals have a long history of making absurd headlines:

Jose Guillen performs self-surgery on toe

Ken Harvey gets head stuck in tarp during game

Tony Pena Jr. swings bat one-handed

Former Royal Chico Lind gets caught driving with no pants on

Jimmy Gobble injures foot by stepping on cactus

Royals lose game when fly ball hits seagull

Emil Brown shoots female reporter in eye with BB gun.


What are your favorite Royals follies?
