Hopefully Kansas City sports fans are keeping entertained during the NFL offseason by the neighboring Royals of the MLB.
On Tuesday evening when the Royals host the New York Yankees at Kauffman Stadium, Chiefs defensive end George Karlaftis will throw the ceremonial first pitch (H/T Harold Kuntz of Fox 4 K.C.).

Karlaftis and the Chiefs are going currently working through their third round of OTAs before mandatory minicamp begins one week from today. As for the Royals, Tuesday’s game could be a memorable one as it will mark the home debut of standout prospect outfielder Jac Caglianone.
The No. 6 overall pick in the 2024 MLB Draft, Caglianone made his big league debut one week ago in a road matchup against the St. Louis Cardinals. In his most recent game, Caglianone went 4-4 with three singles and one double in a 7-5 victory over the Chicago White Sox.
