The Royals minor league pitchers and players of the year toured the Kansas City community today. The morning started with a stop at Ronald McDonald House of Kansas City, where the players assembled special kits for the “There’s a Monkey in My Chair” program. The program, started in January in Salina, Kan., provides “monkey kits” to pre-school and elementary-aged children who are diagnosed with cancer.
The next stop was Children’s Mercy Hospital, where the guys signed autographs and drew pictures with the kids.
Today’s tour wrapped up with a visit to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. Here, Bob Kendrick, Vice President of Marketing at the NLBM, talks to the group on the Field of Legends.
