First, my lasting image.
I sat with my wife in the right field stands near the team’s bullpen at what would be the Royals’ final game of the 2024 season, as the Royals fought the New York Yankees until the final out of the ALDS.
Earlier in the game, a scuffle broke out near second base between a Royals baserunner and several Yankees fielders. Benches cleared, and, dutifully, bullpens emptied. Sprinting in full speed into the fray from right field—No. 51, Brady Singer.
Although it was not an official game appearance, it was just the second time fans saw Singer in the post-season after he faced and struck out one batter in the team’s Game Three loss.
