It's not too often that a current
MLB All Star plays in Springdale.
Alex Gordon!
He recently snubbed the large market teams
and signed a 4 year contract worth $72 million
to stay in Kansas City.
Alex was rehabilitating a broken wrist
for a few games before re-joining
the Royals' active roster.
Before the game,
Davis got to meet & greet:
#11 C Alan de San Miguel, and
#21 RHP Mark Peterson
Because he's such a huge fan...
DJ was picked to deliver the game ball
as part of the opening ceremony!
He saw himself on the stadium's new,
giant HD video screen
and gave a big wave to the crowd!
(video to be posted later)
Later in the game,
Davis was recognized by some
fans walking around the concourse.
"I kinda like being a little famous."
(It was a group of girls)
It's the Naturals' new left fielder!
(for a few games)
A new signature addition!
(thanks, Alex!)
Naturals vs Travelers!
Even with a towering home run
by Gordo, the Naturals fell to the Travs.
A fun day for baseball!
Go Naturals!
