Yesterday I walked you through what I do when I get to the stadium, up until the game starts. Here’s the rest. Hopefully by the time our Kid of the Game is finished taking the lineup card to the umpires, we’ve got our own lineup card filled out with a great crop of contestants. Assuming …

I refer frequently to my job with the Omaha Royals, but it occurs to me that I’ve never really outlined what I actually DO there. So, here’s that. Today is the pregame duties; Part II will be the in-game and post-game stuff. 90 or more minutes before first pitch: Arrive and head toward the “promo …

Note: This is a busy time for me, with two different jobs in two different cities intersecting, but I will try to MAKE some time for blogging. We’ll see how this goes.

An odd schedule this summer means the Omaha Royals are out of town almost as much in July as they were in June. After the eternal CWS-induced road trip, the Royals were back in town for just two games last weekend, then immediately hit the road again for a series at New Orleans. After this …

All I really wanted for my birthday was an Omaha Royals win. My day and my celebration were built around that game, and everything would be dampened if the ORoyals had lost. And thanks to a trio of ORoyals home runs – capped by a Rick Ankiel walkoff winner! – I got my wish and …

Tonight in Des Moines, Ed Lucas fell just a double shy of the cycle and drove in five runs. It was only the 2nd time in his career that he’s homered and tripled in the same game – the other one was July 24, 2008. The O-Royals ended up losing 8-7 to the I-Cubs. After …
