Day 29: Kansas City
Today we celebrated the 4th of July in Kansas City as we watched the Royals host the Minnesota Twins at Kauffman Stadium. The Roayls played solid baseball, especially with their relief pitchers, who did not allow a runner past 2nd base in the final 4 innings. They also had timely hitting from David DeJesus and John Buck and were able to pull out a 7-2 victory. Figuring that the Royals were the worst team in baseball, I took the Twins, but they did not come through for me, so Ben's comeback continues and he now only trails 12-9 in picking games on the trip.
Kauffman Stadium was a unique, older ballpark. Situated right next to Arrowhead Stadium, where the Chiefs play, these 2 stadiums make up the Harry S. Truman sports complex. The parking around the stadium was plentiful, so much so that Ben and I played catch for a short while before entering the stadium. Another nice feature of the stadium was the waterfall in right-center field. In between innings, it would change color, and provided an overall nice backdrop in the outfield.
We left Dallas at 8:15 this morning, leaving the Brock residence after some cereal for breakfast. Thanks so much to Leigh and her family for allowing us to stay for 2 nights and for a couple of excellent meals. After stopping at the Big Cabin Truck Plaza in Big Cabin, OK for gas and food, we made it to Kansas City around 4:15. The Big Cabin is one of the nicer truck stops that either of us had seen, so be sure to check it out next time you're in Northeast Oklahoma.
For dinner, we stopped at our usual Subway for a quick meal. After the game, the Royals put on a fireworks display that was nice, but unfortuantely had to be stopped early because the winds were too gusty. This was too bad, because one of my favorite times of the year is the grand finale to the fireworks show on the 4th of July each summer. Hope everyone else had a great Independence Day as well!

Hola mis chicos. I've just read the price they charged you for gas in Canada. They lied to you. If you paid with VISA, it is an international currency system, therefore, they should charge you for exactly the amount of Canadian dollars. It will be reflected with a different quantity in your montly bank statement because it appears in American dollars. Tontos.
