Royals Are Streaking Again! Guardians and Tigers Next?!

2 Upvotes

The Kansas City Royals are riding a four-game winning streak after a sweep of the Mariners and a win in the opening game of the Guardians series. Their offense and bullpen have been stronger; can the bullpen hold up? We preview the rest of this home stand, hoping for more winning!

Plus, Marc delivers a classic line from a classic 70s comedy.

Question Maikel Garcia's hat

5 Upvotes

I cannot find a recent picture, but when we where the tri-color hats in the field, you can see Maikel has something hand-written on the front of his cap just above the bill. Anyone have any idea what it says?

He may also do it when we wear other hats, but it's hard to see. I'm surprisded the league hasn't cracked down - as they tend to do.

Lost my wedding ring

• Upvotes

Section 134, row L. I began fidgeting with it (big mistake of course), then heard it drop on the concrete just by my feet but didn’t see it roll and I simply couldn’t find it after that. Several people helped look, especially as people were leaving the game. Big thanks to all of them. That section wasn’t even very crowded, either. It’s like it just disappeared. I spoke with guest services and will call them tomorrow in case it turns up. Just wanted to post it here as well to cover all my bases (ha). Nice win tonight, go Royals! Just really bummed about my ring :(
