That was the score of the game last night that we saw at "the K" -- nobody here actually refers to it as Kaufmann Stadium. We had pretty good seats, too, second tier but only a few rows up, nearly over home but shading just a little to first. Neither team really lit it up, but Emil Brown did the lion's share of the work for KC, batting in two runs: one on a double to deep left in the first, and a picture-perfect single up the seam in the fifth. (Mark Stairs had singled up the middle right before him, also knocking in one run. It was like watching instant replay.) In the long-standing tradition that baseball stadiums have of flashing silly things on the jumbotron (c.f. Rally Monkey), for each of Brown's RBI's, the board flashed a graphic of a bag of chips and the slogan "It's not a snack... It's EMIL!" Har har.
The kids loved it. Dogs, cokes, souvenir batting helmets, peanuts, and cotton candy were enjoyed by all and sundry. A summer tradition lives on.
