Eric Stonestreet has done nothing to hide his love of the Royals.

He posted Instagram videos from the set of “Modern Family” when the Royals won the American League Championship Series a year ago. Stonestreet was born in Kansas City, Kan., graduated from Piper High School and Kansas State.

During the World Series, he and “Modern Family” co-star Jesse Tyler Ferguson made a video to whip up the crowd during Game 7.

On Wednesday, the Royals returned the favor while Stonestreet was on “Jimmy Kimmel Live.” Eric Hosmer, Salvador Perez, Edinson Volquez, Jeremy Guthrie and Drew Butera all took part. Butera even cracked a joke. Announcer Rex Hudler also made an appearance.

Take a look:

Here is the video Stonestreet and Ferguson made:
