Young Royals fan enthusiastically devours ice cream cone

The Kansas City Royals are cruising to the American League Central title, and even though the clubhouse is currently guarding against a chickenpox outbreak, their confidence is still sky-high.

That confidence certainly extends to the group of people cheering them on.

Cameras spotted a young Royals fan at Tuesday night's game at Kauffman Stadium against Detroit enjoying an ice cream cone. And when we say enjoying it, we mean really enjoying it.

The kid attacked his ice cream like the back-end of the Royals' lights-out bullpen attacks opposing hitters with their fastballs: fearlessly. It mustn't have taken long for his face to be covered in glorious mint chocolate chip, and he could not have been more delighted.

It didn't matter at all that Kansas City was trailing the Tigers and would lose the game 6-5. There was some ice cream to be eaten, and our young hero wasn't going to let anything get in his way.

Life's good when you're on top. Life's even better when you're on top and savoring a delicious ice cream cone.
