The Royals held their tribute to the Negro League today with a cool Monarchs jersey for the first 15,000 fans. Royals fans used the occasion to celebrate “Dressed to the Nines Day”, a salute to the tradition of Negro League fans coming to Kansas City Monarchs games after church, still dressed in their Sunday best.
Fans today looked marvelous on a gorgeous day out at the ballpark.
Of course, no one outdresses Negro League Baseball Museum president Bob Kendrick.
