WASHINGTON – As a young boy, Jake Randa recalls being at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City when his father, Joe, played for the Royals.
Before one game, Jake Randa and his brother, Justin, accompanied their father on the field as they placed third base in its correct spot before a home game with the Royals.
“That is my earliest memory” of the major leagues, Jake Randa told Federal Baseball on Wednesday. “People have asked my favorite memory but that is my earliest one.”
Joe Randa, now 51, was born in Milwaukee and was an infielder that made his major league debut with Kansas City in 1995 and also played for the Royals in 1996 and again from 1999 to 2004.
