My dog Henry died earlier this month, and I wrote this tribute to him.

I write about baseball and the Royals for The Kansas City Star (@KCStar). My blog about the quirky side of sports was ranked No. 1 in the world by my mom.
- There had never been an AFC Championship Game at Arrowhead Stadium before Patrick Mahomes became the Chiefs quarterback. Now the Chiefs will be the first team in NFL history to host four straight championship games.
- Royals' pitcher Michael Wacha struck out the side in the fourth inning. This was, um, not one of the strikes.
00:00 - The Royals and Chiefs both have playoff wins in Baltimore this year.
- Shaq Barrett's stats against the Chiefs: 4 tackles, 0 sacks, 0 QB hits, 0 TFL
- Royals rookie Jac Caglianone hammers a 466 foot blast to center. Wow.
00:00 - Former Royals pitcher Danny Duffy took out a full-page ad in today’s Kansas City Star to say thanks to KC.
- The Kauffman Stadium field is getting prepped for ALDS Game 3.
- Ned Yost will retire with the best playoff winning percentage of any manager in MLB history.Shoutout to Ned Yost for making this list of highest postseason winning percentages in the four major sports. @NBAonTNT #Royals @SteveKerr
- I asked Ned Yost if one game stands out in his time in KC. He said the Wild Card Game, which was 5 years ago today. "Not because we won. It's because that was the moment these players believed they were good and they could win. That sticks out more than any game I can think of."
- Patrick Mahomes turned 25 today so he can rent a car without restrictions. It must feel like he won the Super Bowl all over again.
- The Royals announced they and the Kansas City Royals Foundation (formerly Royals Charities) will cover the cost of entrance for anyone visiting the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum during the month of February.
