There’s something special about winning baseball. Maybe it’s because I’m a fan of the Kansas City Royals and they have been bad for my entire life outside a miraculous two-year stretch. There’s just nothing like it, the energy infecting every single moment.
Tonight, the Royals won big, 10-4. Cole Ragans was solid outside of one inning. Salvador Perez hit a honkin’ home run, as did Hunter Renfroe. But the story tonight is about how electric the game felt and how outstanding, how unbelievable, how mind-bendingly amazing Bobby Witt Jr. is (even if he didn’t quite hit for the cycle).
