This is super cute. These days there’s not much the media isn’t aware of. The Kansas City Royals are on a tear right now at 61-38. The team decided to inject a little fun in their postgame interviews.
Royals players made the decision to drop Fetty Wap references and lyrics into their interviews. Only problem, the beat reporters aren’t up on the current rap phenom and missed the references.
KC players are fining each other if they don’t use “1738” in postgame interviews. I have no idea what it means. Success has driven them mad.

Cain on Bauer: “He was like a 17-38 to the plate.” Hosmer on his RBIs against Cleveland: “I’ll take 17. I’ll take 38.”

Moustakas on Hosmer’s pick: “Hoz picks that thing 17 out of 38 times.”

McCullough: “I am not putting that in newspaper.” Moustakas: “Why not?” AM:: “It makes no sense.” Moose: “It makes perfect sense.”

Coming to a television near you: Lorenzo Cain saying, “You can name 17, 38 great plays we’ve made.”

For the uniformed, Fetty Wap’s Remy Boyz 1738 squad is a reference to Remy Martin 1738 cognac.
The only thing more amusing, some of the fans interpretations. One said it was a cognac reference because the team was “royal.” Close, but not quite there.
