The other major league baseball team in Missouri plays their games at Kauffman Stadium, Kansas City, Missouri, just across the state line from Kansas City, Kansas. Although their baseball field sometimes teems with the activity of a wheat field, the Kansas City Royals have a lot of team spirit and tradition, and a lot to be proud of.

The 2007 Kansas City Royals will field a team that includes Shane Costa, Mark Teahen, Todd Wellemeyer, and newly acquired pitcher Gil Meche.

Unfortunately for general manager Dayton Moore, and the Kansas City Royals, the MLB rulebook prohibits broadcasters from playing, and Ryan Lefebvre will continue to be confined to the booth, behind a microphone and under a pair of headphones. Buy Kansas City Royals Tickets.

The Kauffman Stadium backstop will be composed of John Buck and Jason LaRue. Buck, the starting catcher responded to the news of the LaRue acquisition like a true baseball hero – he knows the competition will make him stronger, saying, “healthy competition is never bad for a club.”

That’s the kind of professionalism with which Kansas City Royals baseball has always been imbued. That’s the kind of attitude that makes the Kansas City Royals and the fans at Kauffman Stadium, proud to be a part of Major League Baseball, and proud to play in the heartland of America.
