KANSAS CITY -- Fans poured into Kauffman Stadium for Sunday's rubber game against the Braves, many dressed in suits, dresses and other fancy attire typical of a crowd from decades earlier.
Past the Royals Hall of Fame, in a tent outside the stadium, the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum hosted its second annual Dressed to the Nines Sunday Jazz Brunch and Baseball Sermon. According to museum president Bob Kendrick, the event raised around $50,000 last year.
"It's very exciting," Kendrick said. "It's a way to engage the community."
The event began with a jazz performance from Kenny Glover and the BMW Band.
