Toby Cook has noticed a strange phenomenon as he leaves work lately.
Cook, the Royals vice president of publicity, said in the last week something strange has been happening around the Truman Sports Complex.
“We have witnessed personally at closing time around the complex cars that have driven slowly,” Cook said. “We can only assume it’s because of Pokemon.”
Ah, yes. Even if you don’t play it, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of Pokemon Go, the game which has captured much of the nation’s attention (heck, it’s swept the world).
If you are unaware of the game, this video is a good explainer:
Pokemon Go is so popular that the Royals and Sporting Kansas City will have PokeStops at their next games.
