Game 6 – Kauffman Stadium

Special thanks to Ken Helgeson for the great seats we had for this game. For those who don’t know, Ken was a former boss of ours at NYNEX in Maine who now lives in the Kansas City area. We met Ken for lunch at a great Bar-be-que restaurant in downtown Kansas City, MO and had a fun time catching up. Thanks again, Ken. Our plan was to go from there to the Negro League Baseball Hall of Fame but it was closed on Mondays. We did get to see it from the outside. Will add it to the growing lists of things to try to do in the future. We were able drive “Cliff” to the ballpark. The ballpark was very nice with fountains in the outfield. The electronic scoreboard was interesting too. It had the greatest animations – such as when the White Sox pitcher walked a Royals player a base on top of two baseballs went across the screen, there were several different ones when the Royals pitcher struck out a White Sox player.
