Hoppy fans: Plaza Easter Bunnies are ready for Royals baseball

KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- The Country Club Plaza has a new look to it, just four days ahead of Royals Opening Day on Monday afternoon.

The traditional Plaza Easter Bunnies have been decked out in Royals jerseys, complete with their names on the back. All nine bunnies wear No. 15, too, representing the 2015 season. Either that, or they must be big Alex Rios fans.

Additionally, 34 blue Royals flags line 47th Street between JC Nichols Parkway and Pennsylvania Avenue.

I also counted 34 #Royals flags on 47th Street. Those look like this: pic.twitter.com/muDsfsK6ko
