A second bigger van will be loaded Saturday with the bulk of luggage and baseball equipment, from bats and balls to video equipment and pine tar to bubble gum and sunflower seeds. That 18-wheeler will arrive in Surprise on Tuesday.
"Today's always a special day," said Royals visiting clubhouse manager Chuck Hawke, who supervises the loading.
