From the Royals Notes:
Emil knows the long ball:
Perhaps we were a bit hasty in the most recent Royals mailbag, nixing the possibility that a batter would hit the Dodge parked high on the grassy hill at Kauffman Stadium. Emil Brown did not hit the Dodge in Wednesday's batting practice. He hit a ball over the truck. "It went over. It didn't hit it, it went over," said third base coach Luis Silverio, who served up the pitch that Brown belted. The truck lies about 470 feet from home plate. Silverio said that early in the season, Brown hit the concession stand beyond the left-field seats on the fly. "He's a strong human being right there," Silverio said. What have we got here, the next Bo Jackson? "I don't want to be the second Bo Jackson," Brown said. "I want to be the first Emil."
