Nebraska is home, and a potential launch pad back into the majors, for ex-Husker Asche

The former Husker baseball player says the people here are always nice. Friendly. Kind. Genuine.

"I feel like the organization is what you want as a player," he said. "I think from where my experience is and then coming into spring training this year, I think the Royals are kind of what you want. They shoot you straight, talk to you like a man and tell what's expected of you, and that's all you could really ask for."

Asche, primarily a third baseman, hit .269 with three doubles, a homer and five RBIs during Royals spring training.
