The virtual fans and cardboard cutouts of fans aren’t the same as having real bodies in the seats, but they have been able to provide us with some entertainment since live sports have returned in North America.

On Thursday, the Kansas City Royals blew out the Chicago Cubs, 13-2, but it was a cardboard cutout that got all the attention from baseball fans on Twitter.
 

We’re not sure who’s responsible for putting a cutout of Bernie from Weekend at Bernie’s behind home plate at Kauffman Stadium, but baseball fans absolutely loved it.

We’ve seen some great cutouts so far, but this one is going to be hard to top.
