This is down on the list of sacrifices military members make while serving this country, but it’s difficult for servicemen and women to watch their hometown team’s games.
So for a few days at least, the Royals are coming to the troops who are serving in the Middle East.
Former Royals players George Brett, Bret Saberhagen, Mike Sweeney and Reggie Sanders will greet U.S. troops at four sites in the Middle East next month in partnership with Fox Sports Kansas City and the USO.
One of the highlights of the trip will be a visit to the Missouri National Guard’s 35th Combat Aviation Brigade, which is based in Sedalia.
