Jonny Gomes KOs teammate's kid swinging daughter during Royals celebration (VIDEO)

Jonny Gomes celebrated the Royals 7-2 victory over the Astros Wednesday night by swinging one of his daughters around the pitcher’s mound.

Unfortunately, during the playful moment with his kid, Gomes didn’t see Jason Vargas’s son running towards them and, well,  it's easy to figure out what happens next:

So, Jason Vargas, you just won the ALDS. What are you going to do next?

Well, we're actually headed to the emergency room for an MRI.

Nah, the kid was alright.

KC grounds crew member gets rolled by tarp at ALDS (VIDEO)

Clouds and torrential rain weren't the only things that rolled into Kauffman Stadium during Game 1 of the ALDS Thursday night — and that spelled trouble for one unlucky member of the Kansas City grounds crew.

One member of the Kauffman crew got rolled over and folded like a Royals t-shirt by the tarp at the start of a rain delay in the third inning of the game between the Astros and home team — and it wasn't pretty.

It looked pretty scary, but announcer Matt Vasgersian said the worker "narrowly avoided a very bad situation" before joking "good thing the guy's in shape! He did get out of there, folks."

Mets' Triple-A team abandons dugout after sewage overflow (PHOTOS)

Stinking up the joint is a term used pretty often in sports, but never has it been so appropriate as to what happened during a Triple-A baseball game at Cashman Field in Las Vegas Saturday night.

Only this time it had nothing to do with play on the field when a game between the Las Vegas 51s (Mets) and the Omaha Storm Chasers (Royals) was disrupted after sewage from the locker rooms overflowed into both dugouts.

The problem got so bad the Las Vegas players ended up sitting up outside the dugout.

Let's just say the 51s came out smelling like victory after a 9-5 win.

Alcides Escobar takes nut shot from routine ground ball (VIDEO)

Alcides Escobar is usually pretty adept at handling ground balls but, when he isn't — man it hurts.

The Kansas City Royals shortstop misplayed this grounder Wednesday and well ... you know.

Let's just call it ball three.

Homeland Security confiscates bootleg Royals panties in Kansas City: Report

In what has to be the panty raid of all panty raids, Homeland Security descended upon a Kansas City lingerie shop and confiscated a number of undies accessorized with the Royals logo — all because they didn't have the expressed written consent of Major League Baseball.

During the undercover underwear raid, the Department of Homeland Security confiscated the bootleg women's lingerie bearing the Royals design inside the shop, according to The Wichita Eagle. 

The federal officers were there to stop the business  — Birdies Panties — from making the unmentionables with the Royals logo during the team's unbelievable run to the World Series.

The boyshorts-style ladies delicates were created as a show of support for the Royals — playing in their first World Series since 1985 — but the design which said "Take the Crown" used an interlocking "KC" very much like the team's official logo.

According to the report, shop owner Peregrine Honig described the visit from the agents as "scary."

“We just thought it was something funny we could do,” Honig told The Eagle. “But it was so scary.”

While the Feds may have been intimidating, the agents treated the pair nicely, said Honig's store partner, Danielle Meister.

“They felt like they were kicking a puppy,” Meister said in the report.

Royals fan promised puppy for win gets new dog (PHOTO)

There was more on the line at Tuesday's American League Wild Card Game between the Oakland A's and Kansas City Royals than just the game after one Royals fan held a sign saying she was promised a puppy if her team won.

Katie Castan and Joe Onofrio appeared on national television when cameras caught them holding up the sign during the game last week. The sign said that "If we win, he's buying me a puppy."

Kansas City did their part of the deal and walked off with a 9-8 victory in the 12-inning game.

Then came the happy introduction between the young lady and her new Welsh Corgi pup after Onofrio held up his end.

The acquisition of the dog didn't go quite as the couple had planned. They wanted to get a puppy from the KC Pet Project, but a family with a 4-year-old corgi reached out to them. The family said they had been looking for a new home for their dog for months without success.

She said that they planned to name the puppy after a Royals player but, since this corgi already came with a name, they're calling her Lucy "Rally" Castan.

Lorenzo Cain's amazing catch elicits tip of cap from batter Oswaldo Arcia (VIDEO)

A tip of the cap is one of the highest accolades a player can give or receive on the baseball field. But when it comes from an opponent you just robbed of an extra base hit, it's really special.

In the top of the seventh inning of Thursday's Twins-Royals game, Oswaldo Arcia hit a deep drive to centerfield that would surely have resulted in extra bases. Only problem was that Lorenzo Cain was prowling the Kauffman Stadium turf and made a spectacular wall-crashing catch. So instead of standing on second or third base, Arcia could only tip his helmet out of respect as he walked back to the dugout.

You might want to call the whole sequence of events cap-tivating.

Umpire does James Brown split while making call (VIDEO)

Most baseball umpires aren't noted for their agility on the field but sometimes the old guys can fool you with their entertaining moves.

For instance, during Friday's Giants-Royals game, umpire Gary Cederstrom went to call San Francisco infielder Joaquin Arias safe at third base, but inadvertently wound up doing a slow motion version of a James Brown split while slipping on the Kauffman Stadium grass.

Cederstrom was okay after the funky move much to the delight of the home crowd — even after the call went against the Royals.




Maybe we should start calling Cederstrom The Hardest Working Umpire in Baseball or possibly The Godfather of Fall.

Uh huh. Super bad.

Nori Aoki takes nut shot on missed foul ball (GIF)

The whole sequence of events on this missed foul ball by Nori Aoki looks very painful — especially the ending.

The Royals outfielder chases a foul down the right field line before sliding and missing the ball with his mitt — all before the ball hits him square in the family jewels.

Aoki looked shaken up but otherwise OK. He went on to get two hits in the game after the ball had two hits in one play.

Ouch!
