"Last season, the Royals came to play," said Michael Bucek, Royals vice president-marketing and business development. "Our ballclub was exciting and played meaningful games until the end of the season and our fans responded with energy and passion. As a team and a community, we proved to ourselves that we have what it takes to live up to the name on the front of our jerseys."

The campaign was developed in association with Kansas City-based ad agency Walz Tetick.
