Ever wondered how a minor league team gets their championship rings?
Wonder no more!
With the entire Minor League camp seated on folding chairs near the Art Stewart Tower in the middle of the complex, [Burlington] Bees manager Brian Rupp and general manager Chuck Brockett also spoke about the accomplishment.
Each player and staff member was presented his ring by Royals general manager Dayton Moore. In the crowd were Royals Hall of Famers Willie Wilson, John Mayberry and Dennis Leonard, who are guest instructors for the Minor Leaguers.
"Our organization is very proud of what this team did in 2008 and see it as a springboard to many championships in Kansas City," Picollo said.
That's great. But, this is the best part.
With that, the Minor Leaguers dispersed and went onto the adjacent fields. After all, it was 9 a.m. and time to go to work.
Life in the minor leagues.
