So I am in San Diego this week on vacation, wearing my Royals hat frequently...get lots of really nice compliments on this past season, which is fun to hear...
....meanwhile at an ice cream joint last night a guy says "Hey Royals fan! Great season!" I replied "Blue October!" Thumbs up all around.
On his way out, he comes over to us and holds out his phone showing us a pic, and he is like "Me and Salvy," Then, "Me and Esky," they are pics of him in a locker room with the guys. Turns out the dude works for MLB and hung out with them in Japan. He said they were great guys (duh) and that he is a big Royals fan now as a result. Was really cool.
