Presumably the Royals announcers drove home

The Cleveland Indians spotted the Kansas City Royals ten runs in the first inning at Kauffman Stadium, but the Indians rallied to win in 10 innings, 15-13.

According to the Elias Sports Bureau, the last team to lose a game after scoring 10 runs in the first inning was Pittsburgh on June 8, 1989 in Philadelphia.

That game gained fame when Pittsburgh broadcaster Jim Rooker told his audience that he would walk home if the Pirates lost the game.

Pirates and Phillies fans held Rooker to his word and after the season Rooker and a friend kept their end of the bargain and walked from Veterans Stadium to Three Rivers Stadium.

Oh, how I love MY Kansas City Royals. At least the Orioles think our promotions are cool:
