As he sauntered toward the stereo system in the visiting clubhouse at Progressive Field ON Friday afternoon, a far-off look in his eyes, Royals starting pitcher Danny Duffy was asked what was wrong.
“Can’t figure it out yet,” he said under his breath, shuffling across the carpet in his athletic sandals.
Someone had left music playing on the speakers 3 1/2 hours before Duffy was scheduled to make his second start of the season. And if you know Duffy at all, you know he’s a stickler for his pre-start playlist.
Soon, he remedied the situation. His mix cycled through reggae, rap and pop.
