The answers are: Yes, there's plenty of room; and, No, it's not too late.
The question leading to them is whether or not you can still get on the Royals bandwagon.
If you don't have it by now, it's time to catch Royals Fever. With the Cinderella-est of Cinderella stories, the "other Missouri team" is set to make an appearance in the World Series, something it hasn't done in 29 years.
But if you're going to jump on the bandwagon, you're going to need a primer on the team so you can be fully informed when the Series starts Tuesday.
So without further ado, here's an A to Z look at who and what you should know about the Royals:
A - Alcides Escobar. The shortstop.
B - Billy Butler. He's the portly designated hitter who looks more like the common man than an elite athlete.
C - Cain, Lorenzo. The speedy outfielder whose defense and timely hitting earned him the MVP is the ALCS.
D - Dayton Moore. The general manager and architect of an amazing turnaround that has the Royals playing for a title.
E - Eric Hosmer. The first baseman who's part of the homegrown group of talent paying off for Kansas City. For the others, see also the entries for B, G, M and S.
F - Finnegan, Brandon. A first-round pick this year who played in the College World Series with TCU and now might pitch in the real World Series as a reliever.
G - Gordon, Alex. The left fielder that no dares run on, what with his cannon of an arm.
H - Holland, Greg. The closer with a pitching motion you wouldn't teach, but it doesn't hurt his effectiveness.
I - Infante, Omar. A slick fielder who holds down second base.
J - James Shields. Perhaps more than any other player, this pitcher is the guy who taught the rest of the Royals how to win.
K - Kratz, Eric. The guy who might win you some bar bets with the answer to who's the Royals' backup catcher.
L - Lee, as in SungWoo Lee. He's a Royals superfan living in South Korea who has become something of an Internet celebrity. He'll be in attendance for Game 1.
M - Mike Moustakas. The third baseman who's one of four "double-letter" Royals, joining the aforementioned Billy Butler, pitcher Danny Duffy and infielder Christian Colon.
N - Nori Aoki. A slap-hitting import from Japan who plays right field.
O - It looks like a zero, which is the number for Terrence Gore, a 5-foot-7, 165-pound speedster who wreaks havoc when he comes in as a pinch-runner.
P - The pen. The Royals' bullpen has been very, very good for a couple years now, and when it gets to Kelvin Herrera in the seventh, Wade Davis in the eighth and Greg Holland in the ninth, it's often lights-out for the opponent.
Q - Q score. This measurement refers to the familiarity of a celebrity or a company or brand, and before the postseason, Kansas City's Q score was extremely low. That's about to change.
R - Running. The thing at which the Royals are very good. Kansas City's speed has been a huge part of its success this year, whether it be by stealing bases or by covering large portions of the outfield while playing fantastic defense.
S - Salvador Perez. The catcher who never saw an outside pitch he didn't want to swing at.
T - Twelve. If the Royals take Game 1 of the Series, it will be their 12th straight postseason win. In addition to their eight wins so far, they won their last three games in their last postseason appearance - the final three games in their 1985 Series win against the Cardinals.
U - Unlikely. The word that best describes this magical postseason run.
V - Vargas, Jason. A key free-agent signing who helped bolster the rotation all season.
W - The Royals need four more Ws to claim just their second World Series title.
X - It stands for "X," which on the scoreboard page is part of the phrase "x-if necessary." So far, all those "if necessary" games haven't been needed, as the Royals have closed out teams as soon as possible and gotten to the Series by going a perfect 8-0.
Y - Yordano Ventura. The flamethrowing rookie who will get the start in Game 2.
Z - The last letter of the last name of both of Kansas City's catchers. Odd.
