Shooting the breeze in the visitor’s dugout with teammates, coaches and staff during a club workout Wednesday afternoon, White Sox right-hander James Shields looked back fondly on his two seasons with the Royals.
The sound of it all, when things were going well at Kauffman Stadium, remains among his favorite memories. Shields recalled having to step off the mound before a 2014 postseason game because he was caught off guard by the volume of the KC crowd. It was the kind of environment he’s trying to help the Sox create.
He would also like to reconnect with the good old days in another way.
