The Kansas City Star
Mee-owww! Motivational speaker Paul Long, 33 (left), of Lenexa and John Stoner, 34, of Kansas City posed for lots of pictures in the crowd. They first wore their Blue Chip Wrestling singlets to a Royals-Yankees game to mock “classy cat” Derek Jeter. Jeter’s farewell tour “was so ridiculous that we wanted to out-troll him ... and then the Royals won two in a row, so what do you do? You keep wearing them,” said Stoner, an IT guy.
The Star’s Lisa Gutierrez and Tim Engle asked fans at Kauffman Stadium to wear the crown and explain their team spirit.
