CLEVELAND
John Sherman is a 61-year-old Royals season-ticket holder, a baseball fan who came to Kansas City in the mid-1970s and made the town his home. He was there for the epic duels with the New York Yankees in the late 70s, there for the world championship in 1985, there for the renaissance under general manager Dayton Moore.
“Certainly,” Sherman said, “the last couple years in Kansas City have obviously been fantastic.”
Sherman is what you might call a baseball guy. His father, Jack, was a diehard fan of the Brooklyn Dodgers. Jack Sherman passed the devotion onto his son.
