joe has decided the atlanta braves aren’t enough for him. yes, he is a die-hard fan who will never, ever stop cheering for the braves — whether they win the division title or not — but he has wanted another team to cheer for.

that’s where the kansas city royals come in. joe is the author of a new column for the kansas city star about becoming a new fan. his first column ran in the paper last sunday, and now it will be an online feature on his blog http://royalsfan.blogspot.com. he’s had his blog up for three full days and already has almost 400 hits. it’s amazing how popular it’s become, and it’s interesting to see how wide-spread his audience is. i actually received a phone call today from the pastor who married us, who is a huge royals fan and saw joe’s picture on the kansas city star’s site.

check his blog out if you get a chance. he’s done a really good job with it. the plan is to turn his columns into a book, which i think would sell really well.
