When it was announced that Kansas City Royals' pitcher, Zack Greinke, would be taking home the American League Cy Young Award, we expected big things from headline writers across the country.  They certainly delivered.

Simple, yet effective.  You see, awards are regal...and so is Kansas City's team name.  It just works, dammit.  Besides, "Greinke" doesn't really rhyme with anything except "stinky" and that doesn't work in this context.

Definite extra headline points for the ability to integrate an alcohol reference. Well done.

Julio Cruz

It took Cruz two full years in the Major Leagues before he finally realized that eye black was more effective when applied under the eyes instead of on the forehead.
