We're not going to let money kill that. We're not going to let greed kill that. Eric Sorensen of Yankton, S.D., caught the Royals on television one day a couple of years ago, and he was hooked, he fell in love, and he believes. And 350 miles west across South Dakota, in Rapid City, Adam Torres watches his videotape of the 1985 World Series, and he believes it will happen again. As we prepare to become parents, I am truly excited at the prospect of raising a third-generation Royals fan.
People do believe.
Their reasons are not complicated. Dozens believe because of Mike Sweeney, the best hitter in Kansas City since George Brett, and the nicest guy in sports. Many others choose Jermaine Dye or Joe Randa or Carlos Febles as their reason to believe. John says Mark Quinn will be the most valuable player. A few write in to salute pitcher Blake Stein.
