The Royals are utterly confusing reporters with ‘Trap Queen’ references

On Tuesday, all the players seemed to be dropping the numbers 17 and 38 into interviews randomly. Well, according to The Kansas City Star reporter Andy McCullough, it’s because several players on the Royals are big Fetty Wap fans.

You may ask yourself: OK, so what?

Royals center fielder Lorenzo Cain, one of the more creative 1738 droppers and believed to be the originator of the challenge (see below), has adopted “Trap Queen” as his walk-up song, further demonstrating the team’s affinity for the catchy song.

The Royals, who lead the American League Central Division by nine games, reportedly have a system in place where players fine one another for failing to mention “1738” in postgame interviews. So they have made it mandatory for everyone on the team to shout out Fetty’s crew, which, of course, goes by the name Remy Boyz 1738.

Mike Moustakas on a slick defensive play by Eric Hosmer: “Hoz picks that thing 17 out of 38 times”.
