Royals Game

Jerry's birthday present from us was a day at the new K to watch Greinke pitch. He was SUPPOSED to pitch, but apparently he was too worn out from the All-Star game the weekend before, so we watched Bannister pitch. All in all, it was a good game. The Royals lost 7-8, but hey, there was some action! We saw three home runs and lots of hits. The renovated stadium is really, really nice.
Marilyn came to see us on Wednesday, then went to Kansas City to her daughter's house. They met us at the game, but of course I don't have a picture of that. Here's one from my couch:
.This was supposed to be a nice picture of Aubrey pre-game, but Luke had other ideas.
You can now walk behind the fountains in the outfield and see all kinds of exhibits and stores and activities. They have several activities, such as a timed run to see how long it takes YOU to run to first base, batting cages where you can bat against simulated major league pitchers, etc. Jerry and Luke tried the batting cages, but apparently they were set up for Shaquille O'Neal. I think there was one pitch that came anywhere lower than the tip of Jerry's bat. Luke's side was a little better.
Here we are, checking out the view from above the fountains.
Notice that the boys have their gloves? There were SO MANY foul balls into the stands, but it seemed like every batter was left handed and hit into the third base side. We were just above first.

We all really enjoyed the game. We'll be back!
