KC Royals Caravan

The Kansas City Royals came to town in the middle of winter, so Andrew and I went to Heroes Sports Bar to see the boys of summer and get some autographs. The place was packed so we just found an out of the way place to stand until the players arrived. We were lucky because the guys from KFH had the line start right where we were standing. There was only one guy in front of us. I don't know if it was because we were standing in a convenient place or it it was because I used to work with the guys at the radio station. Either way, we did good and got out of there in decent time for Andrew to get his homework done. Here's Andrew with a few players, and a couple of legends.

Former Wichita Wrangler and current Kansas City Royal, Billy Butler, apparently looking at the cute waitress behind me.

The man who can jump over a car, Kansas City Royal Outfielder, Joey Gathright.

One of our favorite players, David DeJesus. He gave us tickets to a Royals game several years ago when we were at Worlds of Fun.

We were impressed with how friendly legendary pitcher Dennis Leonard was. He was very kind to Andrew and he made a huge impression on me. What a nice guy. Baseball needs more like him.

I didn't notice Andrew's eyes were closed until I got home but here's the picture anyway. Fred White, TV announcer for the Kansas City Royals, although busy talking to someone else, was more than happy to take time to let us snap a picture with Andrew. He told us that Andrew was the best looking guy in the photo. Another nice guy. We hope they come around next year so we can do it again.
