I'm two days into the Kansas City trip, and I've learned several important things:

1. When given a choice of 4-rib or full slab at Arthur Bryant's, take the over...then take a nap.

2. Game 1 had about 200 Twins fans in attendance, and I think I managed to talk to most of them. And they are all awesome! Keep an eye out for some of their pics and stories in my series wrap blog on Monday.

3. Even the Royals fans didn't expect to win. Opening day prices were jacked up 300%, and still a huge crowd showed up. Was it for the 50th anniversary of the fountation, baby blue uni's, or the chance to see Royals greats before the game? No, everyone said that this was the first time in several years that they could be here in person, so they just had to. That was powerful to hear.

4. I'm sitting here in the Kauffman parking lot, 2.5 hours before game time, and I see 20 Twins fans stalking the gates, playing catch, and pointing things out to the kids in the group...see everything from a Puckett jersey to Joe Crede.  Let's go!

5. Prayers to everyone up north who is trying to get through another blizzard. Green grass exists, spring is coming, and we are gonna win today.
