ST. PETERSBURG -- Former Royals George Brett, Bret Saberhagen, Reggie Sanders and Mike Sweeney will be part of a goodwill tour visiting American troops in four locations in the Middle East in early September.
The trip, which is scheduled to begin on Sept. 9, was coordinated between the USO and the Royals' television rights owner, FOX Sports Kansas City.
FSKC host/reporter Joel Goldberg also will make the trip.
The USO trip coincides with the Royals' Armed Forces Night at Kauffman Stadium on Sept. 11.
"George, Sabes, Reggie and I are so excited for this once-in-a-lifetime trip," Royals Hall of Famer Sweeney said in a news release.
