Overland Park ? Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan isn’t just endorsing politicians now.

The 2012 GOP nominee for vice president is throwing his support behind the Kansas City Royals. Ryan was in the Kansas City suburb of Overland Park last Friday to stump for Kansas Sen. Pat Roberts in the three-term incumbent’s tight re-election race against independent Greg Orman.

During the campaign stop, Ryan joked that he was “going to endorse the Royals” as well.

The Royals are headed to the World Series after winning a record eight straight games in the postseason. Ryan said that with the Milwaukee Brewers defeated, he was “happy for the Royals.”
