Another Opening Day has come and gone for the Kansas City Royals baseball team. While they did lose to the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim 4-2 yesterday it was another fun, though chilly, day at the ballpark.
Opening Day announcement was posted on the giant scoreboard regularly.
Presentation of the colors included unfurling a huge flag.
Mike Sweeney signed a one-day contract with the Royals in order to retire as a Royal, the team with which he had his greatest success. Sweeney threw out the first pitch yesterday with George Brett catching.
The scoreboard displays a ton of information about Peter Bourjos as earns a hit in the game.
Fans love watching themselves on the screen between innings.
Melky Cabrera finally got the first hit of the season for the Royals in the bottom of the fourth inning.
However, Torii Hunter provided the power to defeat the Royals, including an impression 446-foot home run.
Even though Royals fans left unsatisfied it was fun to be back inside Kauffman Stadium. There are still three games to go in this Royals-Angels series. Perhaps the hometown boys will earn a win along the way.
