Bros at the K


What's a good way to celebrate being 39?  Going to a Royals game!  Actually, that's a good way to celebrate being any age.  Kirk, Andrew, and I wanted to go to a Royals game together, and today was the day that worked best for all of us.  We go to early service at church now, which works out on multiple levels, one of which is more flexibility on our Sundays.  I leveraged that today by leaving right after church to meet up with the guys at Andrew's house.  We then all drove over together to the K.  A group of Andrew's coworkers were there, so we tailgated with them before they went into the game.  We decided that we'd play some games in the parking lot before we went in, so we set up a game of washers and threw around a football for awhile.  Eventually we went in, and our seats were nearly dead-center with a great view.  Danny Duffy was starting, and he was pitching well.  Mid-way through the game we took a walk around the stadium including a stop in the Royals Hall of Fame.  I'd never been in there before, and it was much better than I expected, with lots of interesting exhibits, including the 2015 World Series trophy.  The Royals won 10-3, but it's basically going to take a miracle for them to make it to the playoffs this year, as they've had injuries to Moose and Wade and others, and they they've also been Soria-ed a few too many times.  But the Royals have done plenty of miraculous things the past couple years, so I'm not counting them out until that math changes from improbable to impossible.
