KANSAS CITY -- A deal is a deal.
It was Dec. 14, 2016, when Royals catcher Drew Butera made a pact, actually a hand-written contract, with Dagan Lingenfelter, a 7-year-old second-grader from the Kansas City area who is battling cancer.
In the contract, Butera agreed that if Dagan were to become cancer-free, Butera would dye his hair whatever color Dagan wanted.
So on Friday morning, to follow through on his end of the contact with the news that Dagan was cancer-free, Butera was off to see a hair stylist.
