With San Francisco's come-from-behind win over the St. Louis Cardinals on Wednesday night — bringing the series to 3-1 — it looks like the Kansas City Royals will likely play the Giants in the 2014 World Series. Actor Paul Rudd, who grew up in the Kansas City area, was at Wednesday's game when the Royals finished their sweep of the Baltimore Orioles. Rudd, perhaps the most famous of the Royals' long-suffering fans, was so excited about the win that he made some probably ill-advised jokes with KMBC-TV reporter Johnny Kane. Let's hope Rudd's mom's address isn't listed in the phone book. --Peter Weber
