The Royal Treatment

Play ball!

Major League Baseball opens today. The sport is making strong gains in recent years gaining back many of the fans lost after failing to play the World Series in 1994. Even I am paying more attention, which is saying a lot.

Back when I was a big time fan, my team was the Kansas City Royals, led by Hall of Famer third baseman George Brett. Brett had a storied career and remains the only player to win batting titles in three different decades. In his career, Brett played in over a dozen All Star games, but never one in which the city of Kansas City hosted.

This season, Kansas City will honored to host the All Star game. Appropriately, George Brett has been named city ambassador. Brett discussed the honor and the excitement in Kansas City. Take a listen.


Certainly, there can be no better ambassador for the Royals and Kansas City than George Brett. Be sure to give everyone the Royal treatment and you guys have a damn good time!
