A local radio station had been promoting an opportunity to take a selfie with a Major League ace, but instead were solo’s. Johnny Cueto was promoted to appear today at Plowboy’s BBQ in Blue Springs as part of a 610 Sports promotion. The event included a costume contest and as many as 20 contest winners who were to get an opportunity meet the Royals pitcher.
Reports say that 40 or more Royals fans attended the lunchtime event.
Only one problem, Cueto never showed.
610 Sports has not publicly commented about the event as of this writing, but according to Bill Althaus with the Independence Examiner, 610 stated that Cueto was getting treatment and could not make the event.
