Kansas City, MO —
Have you ever dreamed of taking a swing at a pitch from home plate inside Kauffman Stadium?
Well, that dream can now become a reality as the Kansas City Royals grounds crew is hosting the first Home Runs for Hunger event at Kauffman Stadium.
“Fans have had the chance to walk around the stadium with a special group or run the bases after a game,” Royals head groundskeeper Trevor Vance said, “but on Saturday, they can actually take batting practice and shag fly balls in the outfield.”
The event takes place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and the weather is supposed to be a balmy 72 degrees.
Fans can secure one swing against a pitching machine on the Kauffman Stadium field by donating three non-perishable canned food items or by making a $2 contribution. There will be a maximum of 20 pitches per participant. The Royals will provide baseballs, batting helmets and bats.
Fans can also shag fly balls in the outfield for a donation of $25.
