Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas knew something was coming.
After all, he broke the team’s home-run record held by Steve Balboni in Toronto 10 days ago, then drilled his 38th homer on Monday (a 371-foot shot at Yankee Stadium) to tie the all-time Kansas City major-league record set by Bob Cerv in 1958.
There was bound to be a celebration in Moustakas’ honor at Kauffman Stadium.
He just didn’t know his father, Mike, would be here on Saturday to see it.
In a pregame ceremony, Rooyals general manager Dayton Moore and manager Ned Yost presented Moustakas a glass award, and fans stood in ovation.
