Kids, charity work, traveling: The real life of Royals wives

Royals fans might know the stats of their favorite players, but how much do they know about Royals spouses?

For instance, which Royals wife is almost as superstitious as Susan Sarandon in “Bull Durham”?

If you don’t know, that’s OK. This season’s wives are a low-key bunch that tends to stay out of the public eye.

The “girls,” as they call themselves, are busy during the season with fundraising and volunteer work and everyday life when they’re not flying from stadium to stadium with the kids to watch the players.

On a recent Sunday afternoon at Kauffman Stadium, Jamie Gordon, wife of Royals outfielder Alex Gordon, was joined by several other players wives to sell autographed baseballs during a fundraiser before a Royals game for Alex's Lemonade Stand.
