The Kitchen Table

Kansas proud!

9 years ago

I just read an article in the Kansas City Star from a SanFrancisco Giant's fan that made me very proud to be from our part of the country. The article had nothing but praise about the way they were treated from the time they drove into Kauffman Stadium until the time they left. He and his wide actually decided on the plane going back home that they were moving there as soon as possible. As he stated, "Kansas City is somewhere that most people only dream of living".

So to the person who was looking for somewhere to live....he might come and check out Kansas City....it has so much to offer, as well as the best BBQ in the land!

Oh there are many smaller towns near the city that do not have "lots of concrete". But the city has a lot of things to do that many people like to do and places to visit. To compare it with SanFrancisco, it has very little concrete. I was proud that this group of people found it to be so appealing.

Awm03- Historic for us (& maybe beyond just "us"?!) for SURE! * Beating a LEGIT Big-12 Champion... * At THEIR house... * 2nd biggest crowd they've had! Over 50,000 I think. * Very warm & humid game... * We fell behind by 14 in 3rd Qtr., things seemed to be unraveling... * Then...with our backs to the wall...our guys started taking it back. * A TD & FG get us back to within 4. HAVE TO get 7. * Then...the looonng 80yd. drive to win. Crucial 3rd-downs made along the way. * Eventually, the QB-keeper to win!!! * Then, as this video-montage says, "stunned silence" of KS fans...

I was very happy for the team and the fans, even though I'm not a baseball fan. I can only imagine the joy; what fun.

What a happy time for your family as your daughters bloom! After years of raising our kids, it's so fulfilling to see their hopes and dreams fulfilled. It's a reflection of your parenting and hard work on everyone's part. Congratulations.

I thought the team and the ball field were in Missouri?

It's nice to encounter polite fans, it's not always the case. Don't forget that the winning side is often more gracious than the losing side.

The Kansas City fans and the whole team.organization were VERY gracious. A class act.

But let the SF fan get one Midwest winter under his belt and he'll be back to the mild California weather ASAP!
