The Kansas City Chiefs’ Cairo Santos and the Kansas City Royals’ Paulo Orlando didn’t know each other before Wednesday afternoon, but the two Brazilians met in the locker room of Kauffman Stadium before the Royals took on the Cincinnati Reds.
“I thought we were going to go over there and talk for a few minutes and leave,” Santos explained. “I thought he was going to be pretty busy. I didn’t want to interrupt his time getting ready for the game. But he took his time taking me around the locker room and down to the batting cage and even out to the field.
