An event in New York, where the Mets and the Cubs will begin the National League Championship Series at Citi Field, was also scheduled for Saturday.
Three stations were set up on the field at Satchel Paige Memorial Stadium, where kids worked on hitting, fielding and throwing and, in general, had fun playing ball.
"It's a good event for the kids," said Wilson, who starred for the Royals from 1976-90 and played on their World Series championship team in 1985. "It gets these guys to learn a little bit more about baseball, to run around, and they know that there's things to do outside besides being on their computers.
