That must be one heck of a softball team.
Two members of the same competitive slow-pitch softball team cleared the fences Thursday at Kauffman Stadium in the “Hit For Your Seats” event hosted by the Royals.
Tommy Bennett and Brandon Weems served as proxies for season-ticket holders, whose 2019 seats are now free. The two hit their home runs roughly two hours apart.
“He’s our three-hole hitter and I get to hit behind him,” Bennett said of Weems. “He’s got a lot of pop.”
