Royals Fear Colon's Appetite

The Kansas City Royals are bringing back a popular promotion to fill the stadium at home games: "All you can eat seats."


According to the KC Royals: "With All-You-Can-Eat tickets, fans enjoy covered Club Level seats featuring unlimited ballpark fare that includes hot dogs, nachos, peanuts, popcorn and soft drinks for one all-inclusive price. Fans will also receive a souvenir cup, which can be used throughout the game at the self-service beverage station."

It doesn't appear that the "All you can eat seats" will be available during "premium" games. This includes the Red Sox series on August 4-6th. I'm guessing that the Royals feared the financial implications of "all you can eat seats" when Bartolo "el Gordo" Colon was in the house.

I gotta ask: Where do hear the nickname El Gordo?

I started using it at The Bottom Line after a guy in my office said it... but I thought it was original...

The nickname has been kicking around for a while. I'm not sure when it started. Some Angels fans called him "el Gordo"
