The Royals’ New Home: A Nostalgic Trip Down Absurdity Lane

Municipal Stadium Brooklyn Ave and E 22nd Street

 In the latest episode of “Let’s Move the Royals,” the Kansas City Royals are considering a move downtown. But why stop there? Why not take a trip down memory lane and set up shop at the corner of Brooklyn Avenue and E. 22nd Street, where Municipal Stadium used to be? It would make just as much sense as any other suggested location so far.

Imagine the nostalgia! Picture this: parking in neighborhood yards, just like the good old days. Who wouldn’t want to relive the thrill of finding a baseball in their flower bed or the joy of explaining to visitors why there’s a good old-fashioned ballpark in the middle of a residential area? It’s like a time machine, but with more traffic and fewer parking spaces.

The Sacred Ground

This isn’t just any location; it’s the sacred ground where legends like Jackie Robinson, Buck O’Neil, and other Hall of Famers graced the field. Players like Satchel Paige, Ernie Banks, and Cool Papa Bell showcased their talents here, making it a historic site for baseball fans. Moving the Royals here would be like paying homage to these greats while simultaneously scratching our heads at the absurdity of it all.

The Benefits of Nostalgia

Moving the Royals to this historic spot would undoubtedly boost the income of local residents who need it most. After all, nothing says “economic development” like charging fans $20 to park on your lawn. Plus, think of the community spirit! Neighbors coming together to direct traffic, sell homemade lemonade, and reminisce about the days when the Royals were… well, still struggling, but at least they were struggling in a place with character.

A Walk Down Memory Lane

Let’s not forget the charm of dodging stray baseballs while walking your dog or the excitement of hearing the roar of the crowd from your living room. It’s like having a front-row seat to every game without ever leaving your house. And who needs peace and quiet when you can have the constant hum of stadium lights and the occasional home run ball crashing through your window?

The Logical Choice

In all seriousness, the idea of moving the Royals to the corner of Brooklyn Avenue and E. 22nd Street is as logical as any other suggestion that’s been thrown around. Why not embrace the absurdity and go all-in on nostalgia? After all, if we’re going to make a move, we might as well make it memorable.

So here’s to the Royals’ potential new home: a place where history meets hilarity, and where the past is just a parking spot away. Let’s raise a glass (or a parking fee) to the good old days and the even better stories we’ll have to tell.
