Growing up as a fan of the Kansas City Royals, it was always a special treat when my family would make the drive from rural Pettis County, Missouri, up to Kauffman Stadium. The team wasn’t so great in those days of the early 2000s (Sorry to make some of you feel old.), but I loved going to the ballpark. And not just because we could usually sit close down the lines for cheap.
Unfortunately, I was only able to go to one home game during the amazing 2014-15 stretch due to moving out of state. During that visit, it was just as I remembered it—with a few more bells and whistles.
