On the night the team he bought 15 years ago scrapped and ran and came back one more time to forever make its mark in baseball history, David Glass did not sleep.
He stayed at Citi Field for as long as his Royals celebrated their World Series championship, first in the clubhouse, then out on the field, and then in points all around the stadium. It’s good being the boss, and it’s great being the boss of the world champs.
The thing about celebrating a championship, though, is you lose track of time. So Glass doesn’t really remember what time he felt the party simmering down — or, more likely, moving to other parts of New York — but rather than go back to his hotel for a couple hours, he went to the airport to fly back to Kansas City.
