Yup, and That’s how the royals got their name. “The American Royal livestock show” at the Kansas City stockyards.

Long before there was the Kansas City Royals, was the Negro league Kansas City Monarchs too. You would think that it would be a nice tip of the cap to one of the most successful and best stories about the saddest part of US history. But nah - strictly what was surely an unwelcome coincidence.
