Jose Cano, who pitched 23 innings for the Astros in 1989, returned to the mound and Robinson hit his next pitch on a line into the right-field stands to claim victory.

Joe Torre, Cano’s former manager with the Yankees and now an executive vice president for Major League Baseball, presented the crossed-bats trophy to the winner.

It's been hard to be a Royals fan, but I'm still excited about the team."

Hall of Fame president Jeff Idelson said yesterday it will be up to Jeter, but most likely within the next two weeks it will be determined what pieces from his 3,000th hit game will be given to Cooperstown.

For the first time since — aw, heck — the 1980 ALCS, or maybe Brett's Pine Tar Game, the Royals really had, kind of, gotten one over on the Yankees.

These K.C. Royals fans were getting into Cano's head during ... The positive feedback Prince Fielder got for winning the Derby for the second time was barely measurable by comparison. Royals fan Ryan Howell and his father, Bob Howell, sat in their second-row seats in left-center field, tucked between the outfield pasture and Kauffman's famous fountains and waterfalls.
