It’s Alex Gordon’s Hall of Fame induction ceremony tonight.
The #Royals won’t be wearing their city connects. Instead, home whites. And all the position players will have the pine tar streak on their backs.

- Baseball writers Tik Tok tournament starts now. Duet this! @StLouisBBWAA has a Hall of Fame closer. Beat that! (@dgoold, @Ben_Fred, @Ackerman1120, @cmshhummel)
00:00 - KC native Carter Jensen on what he's going to do with the ball that landed for his first MLB hit: "Probably give it to my parents so I don't find a way to lose it." Vinnie Pasquantino, walking by: "He doesn't have a choice. He's living at home." Carter: "True, yeah."
- Bobby Witt Jr. was really happy about the October Ready shirt... "This is what I dreamed of as a kid. I saw the pictures. I bought the shirts. Now I’m in the pictures. And I have the shirt."
- Maikel Garcia: “I’m proud to represent the Royals and Kansas City. They gave me an opportunity to be a professional. The fans were happy when they saw the news of me being an All-Star. I appreciate them because they brought me here. I’m here for them.” #Royals
- Speed! (And the gate opening, which, yikes)
00:00Vinnie Pasquantino tripled. Yep. - Some news: I’m moving over to the #Royals beat for MLB.com, taking over for the great @FlannyMLB. I have so greatly enjoyed my time in St. Louis and all the people there, but I’m ready for this new challenge and very excited to join the KC beat!
- Yadier Molina says he only wants to play for the #STLCards. If they want him back, he’ll keep playing, and if they don’t, he’ll be done. Said he hopes to play beyond 2020, perhaps two more years.
- Bobby Witt Jr. on whether the #Royals are underdogs or if they feel overlooked in this series: “Not really. We know who we are. We're the Kansas City Royals. We do our thing.”
