Welcome!
Welcome to the inaugural edition of The Eleventh Inning, the latest addition to the blogosphere dedicated to major league baseball and the Kansas City Royals.
Kansas City is blessed with a good number of blogs covering the Royals from a variety of perspectives. Several focus on statistics and sabermetrics. Others approach the game from the team’s point of view, or from the players and coaches perspective.
The Eleventh Inning is a baseball blog written from the general fan’s perspective. We’ll focus on roster moves, trades, player development, team and individual performance and baseball in general. We may look at statistics from time to time, but we’ll leave the advanced metrics to the experts.
Why another blog?
Because, really, why not? Everyone has a different view and perspective on baseball. Having as many outlets for discussion as possible is the best way to promote those perspectives.
About your host…
I am a lifelong resident of the Kansas City area, and have been a Royals fan since 1974. I remember the glory years of the late ‘70s and the championship seasons of 1980 and 1985. I’ve suffered through the last 25 years of Kansas City baseball with everyone else. I regularly attend 20 to 30 games per year and follow most of the rest through television or radio.
I’m neither a sports expert nor a baseball professional. I work in management for a large national corporation that has nothing to do with baseball. I am also a diehard Royals supporter and want nothing more than to enjoy watching the young, exciting talent that make up today’s Royals team evolve into a championship caliber organization.
I have no special credentials or expertise that qualify me to publish a sports blog. Only my own opinions. I hope to share those on a regular basis, and I hope you will too.
Weekly video podcasts…
I hope to publish a companion video podcast each week to provide a recap of major Royals activities and performance. I’m developing skills as a commercial video producer and editor, and hopefully producing a weekly podcast will be a fun and unique contribution to the site.

So what is the little hand gestures and finger wiggle the Royals keep doing when they get a hit? The announcers talk about everything BUT that are they signing something?
just wondering..
