Coming into the seventh inning Saturday, the Royals had sent 19 hitters to the plate to face pitcher David Price and had a total of — let’s check the ol’ baseball scorebook — one hit. So when Ben Zobrist hit a flare to right field, there wasn’t a whole lot of reason to think the Royals had their second hit.
But that’s when you got involved.
The press box is six floors up and when the stadium is not filled to capacity and fans are sitting on their hands, I can clearly hear an outfielder calling for the ball even though I’m busy constructing a triple-decker ice cream Sundae.
