Foul tip breaks camera lens in Futures Game

Found July 08, 2012 on Ride The Pine: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Wil Myers
TEAMS: Kansas City Royals

Via Ride the Pine:

One of the events that starts the MLB All-Star week is the Futures Game, which features prospects from the United States taking on the prospects from around the world.

Kansas City Royals prospect Wil Myers had a big day with two hits and 3 RBIs, leading the USA in a 17-5 win. But the coolest thing Myers did was foul a pitch off and shatter the camera lens behind home plate.

Expect Myers to have to continue to do cool things in his life trying to overcome the fact that his parents only spelled his first name with one L.

Royals fans hoping for a quick promotion for prospect Wil Myers will have to wait a bit longer. Perhaps quite a bit longer.

Breaking even with David Glass

By now I’m sure just about every Kansas City Royals fan has heard about Danny Parkins’ interview* with David Glass on the first day of All Star Weekend. Glass, of course, came off as aloof and utterly clueless as he ever has, and earned as much ire for the way he ended the interview as he did for anything he said. He sparked a Twitter debate amongst the fan base over who is more...
