The diamond World Series ring with a blue sapphire Kansas City Royals logo has a home in Jarrod Dyson's locker in Seattle. In a profession that requires constant travel, he often leaves the championship ring behind.
But as he packed his belongings for a trip that included a stop in Kansas City, Dyson grabbed the piece of jewelry appraised at $23,700.
"I'm going home," he said. "That comes with me."
Dyson returned to Kauffman Stadium on Thursday for the first time since an offseason trade sent him to the Pacific Northwest.
As he stepped to the plate in the second inning Thursday, he was greeted with a standing ovation from the Kansas City crowd.
