Fetty Wap has become incredibly popular in a remarkably short time. In the past year, the "My Way" rapper has gone from relative obscurity to bonafide star with his single "Trap Queen," which has circled the globe and back again, taking over the charts and radio with incredible persistence. Everyone is on the Wap wave and that has permeated into the Kansas City Royals clubhouse, as the players are all about the Patterson, NJ rapper. So much so that they have started to confuse some of their less in-tune with pop culture sports journalists by including the phrase "1738," which spawned a song of its own, in all of their post-game interviews. If they don't, fellow players will have to find the offending teammate for not shouting out the Remy Boyz.
1738, or Remy Boyz 1738, is the name of Fetty Wap's squad in Patterson (the name comes from Rémy Martin's 1738 cognac collection). Wap shouts out his crew by yelling "1738" at the beginning of his breakout hit "Trap Queen," which drove all of the attention towards the number.
The Kansas City Royals are having a lot of fun with the best record in the American league at 61-38 (watch out for the Yankees) and making plays like this one. This little bit of banter in the club house will help keep the moral high between teammates as they drag themselves through the heat and humidity of the summer.
Watch a video of a post-game between Lorenzo Cain, Salvador Perez and a local Fox Sports reporter. Also check out a few confused Tweets from Kansas City Star reporter Andy McCullough.
KC players are fining each other if they don't use "1738" in postgame interviews. I have no idea what it means. Success has driven them mad.

Oh, it has to do with Trap Queen? Then I am fully on board. — Andy McCullough (@McCulloughStar) July 29, 2015
Cain on Bauer: "He was like a 17-38 to the plate." Hosmer on his RBIs against Cleveland: "I'll take 17. I'll take 38."

Moustakas on Hosmer's pick: "Hoz picks that thing 17 out of 38 times." — Andy McCullough (@McCulloughStar) July 29, 2015
