Friends in Low Places
I recently learned that Garth Brooks is going to be going to Spring Training with the Royals this year. At first, I was upset. What in the world is this old guy doing? Just trying to garner some more publicity for himself?

I've since learned he intention is to raise awareness and money for Brooks's Teammates 4 Kids Foundation.

As long as Garth's parcipitation doesn't get in the way of the development of the Royal's younger players or the preparation of the team, I'm all for it. Plus, it'll be one more autograph that we'll be hunting for when we go out to Arizona.
