Update from Spring Training





Saw Mariners @ Royals last night. Joakim Soria was not to be found. But O-soria was! He looks a lot like Kelvim Escobar with the glasses.

Also was lucky enough to get a few autographs. We had seats down the left field line, by the bullpen, which was perfect. The Royals would sometimes stop there between innings.

Tommy Murphy:



Murphy was really nice. He signed for a deaf child next to me, then chatted up his mother about Curtis Pride, who he said was a good friend. Brayan Pena was a ham, smiling and winking at my wife. Should I worry if Brad Hawpe does the same? (see Schruender's commentary)

All in all a very fun experience. Today we'll go to Rockies @ Dodgers.

  1. Hmm...I'm sure Pena was just being friendly. The Royals need their loyal fans to continue being their fans.

  3. That is awesome! I didn't know that you were heading down to Surprise.

    Did Grienke sign that for you after he got pulled and was headed for the clubhouse? If so, I may have saw you last night on TV and not realized it.

  5. Yeah! Greinke signed for me after he was headed for the clubhouse. So if they showed any of that, there's a decent chance I must have been on camera. I was getting cut in front of by little kids so I was probably standing there longer than anybody else :)

    You know what, I was stalking the bullpen for a photo of Mahay. Never saw him. They had a tarp like thing covering most of it, unfortunately.
