KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Ian Kennedy knows it will be extremely hot Friday when he starts for the Kansas City Royals in the series opener against the Chicago White Sox.
It is forecast to reach triple digits in Kansas City.
“I don’t know if there is anybody that even likes playing in the heat when it’s this hot,” Kennedy said. “It’s pretty hot right now. We try to stay cool as much as we can. Just be thankful it’s not a day game.”
How does Kennedy prepare his body for throwing possibly 100 pitches in this weather?
