*****Official 2024 Royals Season Repository Thread*****

[ChiefsCountry]

Year Two of the Matt Quatraro tenure. Time to take a step up this year. Active in free agency and trades this offseason. A new look pitching rotation and bullpen. Will the young players take the leap up offensively? Bobby Witt extension? New stadium? Will Vinny recover from injury? Salvy taking aim at the Royals record book? Will Cole Ragans turn into the best Royals starting pitcher since Greinke 1.0?

Free Agents/Trades Acquisitions
Seth Lugo, SP
Michael Wacha, SP
Kyle Wright, SP
Hunter Renfroe, OF/DH
Will Smith, RP
Chris Stratton, RP
Nick Anderson, RP
Adam Frazier, 2B
Garrett Hampson, INF/OF
Matt Sauer, RP

And I'm almost positive "You've got a hit on your hands!" was the slogan from the 1985 season. Pretty sure "Go for the action" was 1982? And things got really slick in 1983 when it was "Turn on the action". I think 1984 was "Something Special in the Air". Always liked that one. 1986 had "The Thrill of it All!" But things started to get pretty bad though in the 90's leading to one of the worst, albeit memorable slogans: "You've gotta love these guys!" Not the best time for our pr/marketing crew.

I could go on and on blathering about this crap, but I won't.

77 was “We’re Riding The Big Blue Bus” might still have the bumper sticker.

78 was Catch Royalmania.

76 I’d have to ask Denny.

2014 was “Be Royal”. They showed that commercial at halftime of the Super Bowl locally.

And after Justin Maxwell closed the 13 season with that grand slam, I was pumped.

The Thrill of it all...Royals Baseball!!

This sticks in my head the most because it was the first season I paid full attention to damn near every pitch.
