The Shortest Story I've Ever Told

Post by Ice Cream Jonsey »

I play fantasy baseball with my friend Kurt. He said he wanted a gif a few years ago for his team.

He said that he wanted a gif he could use as an icon that would show the apocalypse that would result if the Kansas City Royals won a championship.

I made this:

I found a few pictures of Royals players celebrating things. Winning games. Winning it all once again. I then put in a picture of a mushroom cloud.

In the very last frame, I have a picture of George Brett looking enraged, looking for vengeance. It's actually a picture of him after the "Pine Tar Incident," where the Yankees tried to get a home run of his removed from a game because there was too much pine tar on it. (The Yankees are the most disgusting franchise in the history of sports.)

But what I was going for was the hope at the end of the apocalypse. George Brett, the greatest player in Royals history, is angered at what has happened, and will avenge them.

It's five frames long.

I remember the pine tar incident. The umps measured the pine tar on the bat and called him out and he came a-boiling out of the dugout. What a bullshit technicality move. That was that Billy Martin guy did that to him, wasn't it.

God, this story...
Am I a hero? I really can't say. But, yes.
