Yesterday was a pretty gigantic day for Kansas City sports, relative to other big days. For the first time since 2006, Dayton Moore will not be overseeing Royals baseball.
This was a necessary and overdue decision. It also shows us that John Sherman means business.
With that said, there’s still a baseball game today, the first baseball game played by the Royals in nearly 20 years that won’t be played under Moore’s leadership.
Johnathan Heasley takes the mound for the Royals, a pitcher whose struggles are among the chief reasons Moore is out of a job.
