Jonny Gomes Delivers Emotional "Politically Incorrect" Speech at Royals Victory Celebration
By Kyle Koster
The Kansas City Royals celebrated their World Series victory with 500,000 or so close friends this afternoon. The most memorable moment came courtesy of a guy who wasn’t even on the team’s postseason roster.
Veteran outfielder Jonny Gomes delivered a fiery speech to the masses while holding an American flag. He opened by asking for a moment of silence honoring Mike Moustakas’ mother, Chris Young’s father and Edinson Volquez’s father, three members of the Royals family who died this year.
Then he turned it up to 11.
"“It’s unbelievable what those boys did,” Gomes said. “It’s unbelievable what they did! It’s unbelievable what they did! They stole bases, they hit homers. Hey guess what, Cy Young winner, not on our team, beat him. Rookie of the year, not on our team, we beat him. MVP of the whole league, (turns around) sorry guys not on our team. But we beat that guy too! You know why we beat them. Because all of you all people had our backs. “And Dayton Moore put this team together and Yost delivered it by being the captain of the ship. You all want to be politically correct, I’m the un-politically correct person. We whooped their ass!”"
Aggressive flag-waving and taking great pride in living outside PC culture? That right there might be enough to make Gomes the Vegas favorite for next president of this fine country.
