When right-handed reliever Nathan Webb was 16 he got his first job. It was a summer gig, but, like few others, it got him a World Series ring.
Webb and his three high school travel ball teammates were coached by the head groundskeeper of the Kansas City Royals in 2014 and 2015, which paved a way for all four to get jobs with the team’s grounds crew.
As all were considered “part of the team,” they all were given ALCS and World Series rings.
Then, as fate would have it, he was drafted by the Royals the following year in the 34th round and spent the next 6 years in the organization, before being DFA’d and released this past offseason.
