 This card is for a team called the "Baseball City Royals." Where the heck is "Baseball City???"

 From Wikipedia:

Baseball City Stadium was a stadium located in Davenport, Florida that was in use from 1988-2002. It was a portion of the Boardwalk and Baseball theme park. The two facilities adjoined at the intersection of Interstate 4 and Route 27, about 25 miles southwest of Orlando. The facility had five practice fields in addition to the stadium. It was primarily used for baseball and was the spring training home of Kansas City Royals prior to the team moving to Surprise Arizona in 2003

Baseball City was also home to the Royals High-A team from 88-92.  Eventually they moved to Wilmington, DE and became the Blue Rocks.  The main notable players to come from Baseball City Royals were Kevin Appier, Brian McRae, Jeff Conine and Joe Randa.

As a Royals fan, I am glad they moved to Wilmington, and that the Royals moved Spring Training to Surprise.

I wasn't responsible for this shade of purple! Not me.

 
But, again, I probably touched the card that was scanned! On behalf of Star, sorry for that shade of purple.
