Eric Hosmer, Salvador Perez sip champagne on way to ‘Tonight Show’ appearance
The Royals are ready to be toasted on late-night television. And fans will face a tough choice.
First baseman Eric Hosmer and catcher Salvador Perez will be on “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon” on Wednesday. The show sent a private plane to Kansas City to whisk the players, their friends and Mike Swanson, the Royals Vice President-Communications and Broadcasting, to New York.

Must-see TV, right? Well, if you’re a Royals fan, keep this in mind. Actor/Royals fan Eric Stonestreet will be on Jimmy Kimmel Liveon Wednesday night. Stonestreet intends to collect on his World Series bet with Kimmel, a Mets fan.
Tonight I will be collecting on my bet with @jimmykimmel. I will have some KC Royalty to help me provide the welts. @JimmyKimmelLive

What to do, Royals fans? You could flip channels. Or record one. Or both.
The other big question is this:
Do you think I should do that?? What do you think @jimmyfallon ?? pic.twitter.com/iAGXqARErC
