The Royals have overtaken the Cardinals as Missouri’s better baseball team

Vibes around Kansas City are much more positive than around St. Louis

For years, despite living in the suburbs of Kansas City, I rooted for the St. Louis Cardinals over the Kansas City Royals. The reason is simple: my family all rooted for the Cardinals. Of the seven people in my immediate family, I arrived last, but more importantly, I was the only one not born in St. Louis.

I rooted for the teams for which my family rooted.
