Did You Know?

The Royals may play at Kauffman Stadium in downtown Kansas City, but the team was named by a man from Overland Park.

Inspired by the American Royal rodeo and championship barbecue competition held in KC since 1899, Sandford Porte submitted the name “Royals” in a 1968 contest held by Ewing and Muriel Kauffman.
