. On most days at Kauffman Stadium, Peter Moylan leaves his locker in the home clubhouse in the late afternoon and escapes to an adjacent kitchen, where Royals players eat before games.
A 38-year-old right-hander, Moylan spends his nights attacking opposing hitters as a side-arm reliever. In the moments before first pitch, he adopts a different role: Barista.
Using a Brevill Express Espresso Machine, a slick metal contraption he purchased on Amazon for $599, and a bag of Lavazza Super Crema Whole Bean Espresso, Moylan doles out cups of his specialty: “The Sledge-iatto,” — fine, creamy espresso blended with chocolate milk and served on ice.
