A couple of days before the start of the 2012 regular season, The Kansas City Royals came to town for an exhibition game against The San Diego Padres. I decided to wear my Kansas City Royals St. Patrick Day's shirt that I got at spring training and see if I could get any players to sign it. As I sat in the stands near the left field line, Jeff Francoeur came walking up and started signing for the fans. I walked over and asked him to sign my shirt and then asked him, "Who is your favorite player was and why." He wasted no time saying, "Dale Murphy, because I grew up in Atlanta." I thanked him for his time and then watched as he signed for every kid that was there.
All I can say is Jeff is a class act!
