Ben Honeycutt shouldn’t be doing this. The Royals fan was born with a spinal condition that causes spasms if he stands too long.
Honeycutt and a couple friends bought standing-room-only tickets anyway —$100 each — just three hours before Saturday’s American League Championship Series game at Kauffman Stadium.
And during the Royals’ 5-run seventh inning? Funny how Honeycutt’s back wasn’t hurting a bit.
The University of Kansas student had spent the game on the concourse high above left field hopping to see over heads in front and crouching to view the field between people on each side of the steps going down.
