12. The Dodgers use a live organist in their stadium. Watching the games the last two nights shows what a huge difference that has for the vibe of the game. Really makes it feel more like authentic baseball. I have said it before, but I’ll say it again: if the Royals would promise a live organist at a new stadium, I’d be far more likely to support it.
11. Shortly before the game started, the Royals got excellent news. Tests on Salvador Perez’s injury revealed it to be far more minor than some had feared and he could be back in the lineup as early as tomorrow afternoon, but seems likely to at least return by Tuesday’s game in Oakland.
