The Royals and Storm Chasers were supposed to play an exhibition last night, the first such matchup in Omaha since 2000. Workers loaded up equipment in trailers, and players and coaches hopped on planes for a one-night-only affair. However, rain and cold temperatures made it too risky for the Royals to play an exhibition game. It was up to the Royals to make the decision to play, and General Manager Dayton Moore cited player safety as the reason for the cancellation. Moore, along with Storm Chasers president Martie Cordaro and owner Gary Green, emphasized that this is worth trying again next year.
