The Kansas City Royals completed a homestand marked by milestones.
When the gates opened to the Royals’ first Sunday night game of the year at Kauffman Stadium this weekend, it gave the fans an opportunity to see their team pick up their 42nd victory at home this season. That’s how many home wins the Royals had in the 2014 regular season.
Newcomer Ben Zobrist, who scored the winning run in the tenth inning of the Royals’ 4-3 victory, noticed the energy.
“I’m really just floored at how ecstatic they (the fans) are at Royals baseball, so I’m pumped that I get a chance to enjoy it,” said Zobrist.
Two days earlier, the Royals exceeded the two million mark in attendance at the earliest date in team history.
