One Royally Krazy Car

In the past 11 years, I’ve probably logged at least 240,000 miles just driving back and forth to work. When you tack on family-related weekend driving on top of that, it’s fair to say that I’m on the road a bit. Most of those 11 years – probably around 90% of it – I’ve lived in New Jersey. And, for about 98% of that time, I’ve been working in New Jersey. So, it’s safe to say that I do a lot of driving in New Jersey.

Since I’m often stuck in traffic, I get to see many car magnets, bumper stickers, and license plate frames.

To this day, my favorite bumper sticker had “JESUS LOVES YOU” in big letters on it with “The rest of us think you’re an asshole” in smaller print under that. But, what always catches my eye are the things that people put on their car which relate back to the teams that they root for and follow.

Of course, in New Jersey, I see a lot of “Yankees” and “Mets” stuff on cars. And, I see too many cars with New Jersey plates that have some “Red Sox” magnets, stickers, etc.

Recently, I saw a car – with Jersey plates – that had a “Los Angeles Dodgers” license plate frame. For a nano-second I thought that was strange. But, it’s probably someone who was once a Brooklyn Dodgers fan…I suppose.

But, tonight, on Route 22 (Eastbound), I saw a first: A car with New Jersey plates and a “Kansas City Royals” license plate frame. How does that happen?

I doubt it was either Jose Rosado or Bob Hamelin. And, I’m more than sure it wasn’t someone who became a Kyle Farnsworth groupie while he was in New York and now made the switch…or, could it have been?
