Ok, I know this will bring responses of the 1985 World Series, but I was looking for a little something different. To look to the future we must look at the past. I want to see what people's favorite Royal moment was. Anything like your first game, your favorite play, etc.
Mine was actually last year my step-son was 5 years old last year. I took him to his first game. It was early in the season, on a nasty T-Shirt Tuesday evening, It was cold and raining well more of a steady drizzle. We were sitting in Right Field and he was amazed at all the cool stuff at the park, the fountains, the ballpark in the outfield, etc. The same sorts of things I remember when I was a kid. We had gone down to the fence line between innings watching Reggie Sanders and DeJesus play catch, when I yelled to Reggie and pointed to my Step-Son. Reggie finished his tosses and turned and pointed to my Step-Son and threw the ball my direction since I had my glove. As I was trying to catch the ball two teenage boys tried to tackle myself and my Step-son in order to get the ball I fended them off to get the ball for him, he was so excited he was jumping up and down and showing everyone that was left in the crowd. I know sounds kinda cheesy but, he didn't let go of that ball even when he slept for almost two weeks. He was so excited that he sat threw the cold and rain and loved every minute of the game. Especially the Hot Chocolate. Since then he has gotten 15 baseballs. I was 17 when I got my first ball. I will never forget the look on his face when he got that ball. Since then he asks about going to the game a couple times a week. I think I am raising a lifer here.
