It's like night & day listening to the Fox broadcasters today in the #MLBPlayoffs. AJ & the two Adam's are miles better than Davis & Smoltz. Not only that, but they are FUN to listen to. With Smoltz, I often wonder if he even likes baseball anymore.

The Arizona Fall League just announced that Royals OF prospect Angeibel Gomez will be on the Surprise roster. Gomez, who is 17, will be the second-youngest player in AFL history. He played in the DSL all season, so this will mark his official stateside debut.

I became a baseball fan listening to Denny Matthews & Fred White call #Royals game. I would listen to the games with my grandma & instantly became a Royals fan. I hear people knock on Denny at this point of his career, but to me he will always be the best. I'm positive that I am not alone.
