Oh hell I didn't think about that. If that's truly the case, well done, David.

No matter what anybody says, nobody can take away 14 and 15. Those truly special sports moments in my life, really can't be overstated.

13 and 16 they were in the chase until a couple of weeks out as well

My wife had surgery on her ankle. We were able to use the office elevators. While we are waiting on the elevator, David Glass and his family join us in waiting for the elevator.

My son, about 3? is all decked out in Royals gear. Has a ball glove on. Mr. Glass leans down and asked how your doing young man, you going to play for the Royals when you grow up? My son without missing a beat says, no, I want to play for a good team like the Cardinals or Rockies. We were aghast.... apoligized, Most of his family thought it was funny.

We got home and when we told him that was his special day and he might have insulted him. My son decided to draw him a picture of the day and tell him he was sorry. We put the drawing and letter in the mail.

About 2 weeks later we got a note from David Glass himself. He wasnt insulted, his son grew up a Cardinal fan, he hopes one day that he will chose to be a Royals fan.

Still got pics of the drawing and the orginal note from David Glass.

Great story, thanks for sharing. RIP Mr. Glass 2014 and 15 were a blast.

Damn That sucks. RIP Mr. Glass.

Wow, I don't remember hearing a single thing him having any health issues.

RIP Mr.Glass you did great to make this team into a world series champion and great to make sure the team stayed in Kansas City. Thank You. Hope Ace is waiting there in heaven waiting to greet you.

I love the Royals. I will always be grateful for what he did for us.

Thank you for bringing us a WS and keeping the team local.

RIP

I won’t say anything negative.

RIP Mr Glass.
