  • Baker and FVV throw out first pitch at Royals game!

    That's pretty cool. Shocker day at the K.

    Made it to the game. Got a nice hat out of the deal. FVV pitched to WuShock on target, Baker bounced it to Cotton.

    Nice idea, but sounds like they've got a day for everyone remotely nearby. MU, KU, KSU, Nebraska, etc

        Yes, only teams with National reputations. Sorry Bears. :)

          No Creighton either, I don't think. And the Royals AAA team plays there.

            I believe that we will be having some sort of function at a Sporting KC game. And they are outdrawing the Royals in attendance anyhow. They are a bigger deal locally for all intensive purposes.

            We've had similar events at Busch Stadium in the past. Still a cool deal though in any case. Our university has failed massively at promotion for many years.

              Sporting Park has a capacity of 18,467. Attendance today at Kauffman Stadium was 21,640. I guess everyone came just to see 3 Wichita State players throw out the first pitch.

              FWIW, there was a Creighton University Night with discounted tickets, but the promotion for that game was "Rawlings Gold Glove T-Shirts." The promotion for the game today was "Wichita State Day."

                  Not sure your basketball team throwing a car wash to raise money in the parking lot of Sporting Park is the caliber of "some sort of function" that the other posters are talkin' 'bout. But I'll donate a fiver if they do a good job of polishing my headlights.

                              Sorry. But just what in the hell does "intensive purposes" mean?
