PrintFor those among the Rock M Nation community whose color schemes trend more blue than red, who prefer barbeque to toasted ravioli, and whose friends are rumored to be in low places, the Kansas City Royals have announced their upcoming "Mizzou Night at The K" promotion when the Royals face the Minnesota Twins on June 4.
Join your fellow Tigers for a night of big league action at Kauffman Stadium. The first 700* Tiger fans who bring their Mizzou Night ticket to the MU table located just inside Gate B will receive a limited edition KC Royals Mizzou Cap. Gates open at 4:30 p.m.
Special guests for the evening will include Kansas City area Tiger Student-Athletes! These special guests will be on hand at Kauffman Stadium to meet all their Mizzou fans. Arrive early because Tiger fans can breakout their tailgating equipment in a special reserved tailgating spot in Lot N. The first 20,000 fans in overall attendance will receive a Willie Wilson Bobblehead.
* Please note: KC Royals Mizzou caps are limited. The first 700 Tiger fans with a Mizzou Night discounted ticket only will receive a cap.
More details about discounted prices and group sales are available by visiting Royals.com/Mizzou.
The promotion gives us a fantastic opportunity to once again highlight the success of former Mizzou great Aaron Crow. For those of you without access to internet, newspapers, or old-timey tube radios from the 1930s, you may not have heard about Crow's tremendous success with the Royals in 2011. Behold his numbers as of Tuesday evening:
Crow opened the season by not surrendering a run in his first 13 games of the season, becoming only the 12th player since 1919 to do so (H/T: Tom Orf). But, of course, scoreless streaks are nothing new to Crow, who put together a 42.2-inning scoreless streak at Mizzou in 2008.
The Royals have provided Rock M Nation with four tickets and one of the limited Royals Mizzou caps (pictured below) to giveaway, and we'll happily give them away to the first person to answer a little bit of Crow Trivia. To win, answer all of the following questions in the comments:
- What was the date on which Crow's longest scoreless streak as a Tiger was snapped?
- Who was Missouri's opponent that day/evening, and what was the final score of that game?
- Who led Missouri in RBI in that game, and what was that Tiger's batting line that day/evening?

I have been thinking about this and I think I should get the hat and here's why.
In this day and age, it’s not about getting information right, it’s about getting information out there first. I got the information out first. For at least 5 minutes (5 days in internet time) I was being cited as information. Therefore, I should get the hat.

On the other hand
Your information did not make a lick of sense

making sense is not the criteria, being first to report is.
sheesh, don’t you know what journalism in the age of twitter is?

Have you ever written for Bleacher Report?
You are definitely to be commended for answering in a nanosecond. Your computing power is not in debate.

DING DING DING DING.
RPT will be in touch tonight with details.
In other news, we should have made a “somebody other than trripleplay” rule here because of course he was going to nail it…regardless…winner, winner.
That was that super-crazy really, really windy game wasn't it?
I remember that one.
Rational Mizzou Talk, whether you like us or not.
I remember going to that game...
To see Crow pitch. And instead saw an offensive explosion. Priday was beastly, I couldn’t believe they yanked him from the game for his last AB.
Can I go with you trrip?
There is a God and I'm not it, after that EVERYTHING is subjective. Be careful for what you wish for, you just might GET IT!
As you can tell...
… I was fishing for another excuse to bring up Priday’s line from that game.
If I recall correctly, me and a couple of friends were going to go to that game, but we stepped outside and it was THE windiest day I can recall from my time at Mizzou, on top of feeling freezing. Plus, there isn’t a single place in the city colder and/or windier than Taylor Stadium, so I can only imagine how brutal conditions were that night.

I'm weird w/hats...
I could only wear it if it was a fitted hat. I can’t do the hats w/the openings in the back.
But yes I agree, that hat is bad ass
Bring on the Haith

I'm the same
can’t tell if this hat is fitted or not, but I doubt it.
Follow me on twitter.com/SteveCusumano
Usually the give aways are the snaps or velcro backs..
I just can’t do it. I gotta have a flex cap

Love the hat.
It is basically the same as one the Royals low A affiliate in Kane County wear. I haven’t been able to find one to buy online.
Ummm hmmm
I’ll leave it at that

Yeah
I have these weird ridges on the side of my skull that force me to buy the largest size hats available, despite not having an abnormally large head.

Have you tried the flex fitted hats?
I used to buy the size fitted hats but I could never find one that fit my head perfectly.

That hat
is sweet. Wish I could make it to that game. I’m a Royals fan living in the St Louis area, but was planning on going then realized it was my daughter’s birthday party. Don’t think my wife would like me missing that. Hopefully someone will put one on e-bay.
I’m heading to Mizzou Day at Busch, but they aren’t giving away anything except a dog toy, because it is doubling as dog day or something like that.

are great. it’s the lettering that stinks. ;-)

GREAT GAME
I sat next to Jake Priday’s high school baseball coach at a game earlier this season and he was so proud of Jake’s performance tha tnight and in his career

The thing I remember about that particular game (other than the historic offensive output)
was the girlfriend of one of the Texas players sitting in the stands behind home plate.

After watching Augie Garrido's rant on Norm MacDonald's Sports Show the other day,
The first thought that came to mind was “what an immature tool.” My second thought was “holy hell, if he reacted like this after a regular loss, I’m surprised he didn’t kill his pitching staff after 31-16.”
For those who haven’t seen it yet, the good stuff starts at about 2:00 in this clip:
