Photos: A look at a Spring Training bus trip

Many details and logistics go in to each day of Spring Training.  Take today, for instance – the Royals have a home game at 2:05 Central (listen on royals.com) and a road game at 8:05 Central (listen on 610 Sports).  The clubhouse team will have the jerseys and equipment ready for both games.  Let’s take a look at one of the many behind-the-scenes details, a spring bus trip.

Catching prospects Manny Pina and Salvador Perez were ready for the trip to Glendale.

Here’s a look at the nearly-full bus, which is almost ready to depart.  The team is in uniform as they’ll be taking the field for warmups and batting practice shortly upon arrival at Camelback Ranch. 

 

 

Bus driver Jim White has been transporting the Royals to  spring road contests since 2004.
