#Crowned

The day the Royals made Kansas City stop was a gift from the baseball gods. Pure blue sky, light breeze, the kind of day you don’t mind walking a mile or two from wherever you parked (side of the highway included) to go stand with hundreds of thousands of friendly strangers … the biggest crowd that Kansas City has seen.

Officials estimated 800,000 people showed up, and maybe that’s high. Nobody can really know. But whatever the number, it was a significant chunk of the 2 million people in the metro area. Schools closed. Medical offices told all non-essential personnel to take a day, and surrounding offices celebrated their hometown team.

We were in both the front and back and the thick and thin of it yesterday. Where were you? Work, business district, crossroads, union station or the memorial? #RoyalCelebration #RoyalsParade #KansasCity #kcroyals #KC #kansascityroyals
