Royals fans troll former Journey frontman Steve Perry with Garth Brooks sign at Game 6

Royals fans troll Steve Perry with Garth Brooks sign

By now you're well aware that former Journey frontman Steve Perry is an avid Giants fan. The singer has been a, um, vocal force in the stands at AT&T Park, leading the crowd in a rendition of Journey's iconic hit "Don't Stop Believin'" throughout the postseason.

With the World Series coming down to the wire, Perry made the trip to Kansas City in hopes of watching the Giants earn a third championship in five years with a Game 6 victory. Instead, he got trolled by a group of Royals fans as the home team put the rout on, blanking the Giants, 10-0.

See, back in 2004, country music superstar Garth Brooks was a non-roster invitee to Royals Spring Training. He played mostly left field and didn't make the team, obviously, but Royals fans still have a soft spot in their hearts for Brooks. Which led to this scene at Game 6 of this year's World Series:

Yup, that's Perry sitting a section over from signs that say, "Garth Brooks > Journey." We'd be a little more concerned about Perry's feelings being hurt if former frontman for an '80s rock band didn't rank behind only former president and backup quarterback for the Chargers on the list of most covetable jobs.

Also, he had the nerve to eat an apple ... at a baseball game. That's a violation, for sure.
