Why so glum, Billy?

Sheepish Billy., originally uploaded by Minda Haas. This was Billy Butler receiving his Player of the Year award. He looks sheepish, or sad. And his tie…oh my goodness, I wanted to go re-tie it for him. (Click on photo for original, and lots more from the Royals Awards ceremony!)

Everyone look over there!!, originally uploaded by Minda Haas. Lorenzo Cain, Mitch Maier, Alex Gordon and Jeff Francoeur answered questions from Tim Scott (right) and fans tonight.

WernerOpening

Just passing this along from the Storm Chasers: I’m 99% sure I will not be there, because I’ll be in Kansas City for FanFest. But if I happen to come back early, I’ll see you at Werner Park!
