The Race to the Bottom

Today, Deadspin notes the Royals' transformation into a minor league team neared completion when they brought out the last living munchkin to throw out the first pitch, and then he later won a backpack in a dance contest.

Now, because I am a geek for everything and I've already admitted this, I spent the weekend at the world's largest comic book convention.* There, I passed up several opportunities to get a signature from a real, live munchkin, who I seem to remember billing himself as the last living munchkin.

There are two munchkins who are still alive and they're competing with each other? Shouldn't the Royals' PR staff have figured that out already?

Kansas City is even a failure at embarrasing itself. That takes some doing.
