Anyone else take advantage of this offer? $144 for 14 tix & an '05 Gamer, can't beat it! Kind of like a G/U "Grab Bag", part of the fun is the surprise! I'll let you know what comes my way toward Opening Day.

I didn't see anywhere on the Royals site where it mentioned GAME USED. Just official jerseys.

I must have looked at the wrong page. That's really a pretty cool deal (except you'll be getting a minor league caliber jersey--and not an attractive look either!). I can say that, as a lifelong and long suffering Royals fan!

They really had a classy looking jersey when Bo, and Brett were playing (a Dodgers ripoff, but real nice). Also like the old baby blues they used to wear in the 1980's.

Re: Royals Give Gamers To Season Ticket Buyers

Hard not to be bitter and jaded when you team goes from being ultra competitive and winning the World Series (slapping around the hated Yankees now and again) directly into not making the post season for over TWENTY YEARS!

Then to make matters much worse we have a Wal-Mart a$$hole absentee owner who doesn't live in or care a rip about Kansas City, and just milk's the franchise like his personal cash cow. Glass reportedly only spent $16M on salary last year after you factor in the luxury tax gift money he had handed to him. He has no desire to win, and doesn't even fake a passing interest in fielding a competitive team. May he die and rot in hell!
