Joe Buck trolls angry Kansas City Royals fans

Joe Buck is calling the American League Championship Series for Fox, and many Royals fans who feel that Buck ignored their team and was partial in last year’s World Series are upset.

According to some Royals fans, Buck was far too preoccupied with the performance of Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner (who happened to have one of the greatest performances in postseason history), and didn’t pay enough attention to Kansas City. One fan started a Change.org petition to have Buck removed from the broadcast, which has more than 10,000 supporters by Saturday morning.

“On October 29th, 2014, Joe Buck said Bumgarner 87 times, Giants 56 times, San Francisco 24 times, Kansas City 13 times, and Royals 8 times.

Our opinion is clear and simple, why not have someone that will call the game evenly and without a preconceived love for either team?”

Buck helped promote the petition on Twitter.
