The look Brandon Moss gave me was one of total confusion. Squinted eyes, slightly lowered head. I think he thought I was punking him.
It was September 30, 2017, the three year anniversary of The Wild Card Game, one of those games that needs no more elaboration for Kansas City Royals fans. My question for Moss was simple: had his time with the Royals changed his experience of the game? After all, Moss crushed two home runs in the contest, almost singlehandedly bringing down the Second Golden Age Royals before they ever existed. But then the Royals came back from the brink, defeating Moss’ Oakland Athletics.
