This week has been a learn as you go type of thing with the CWS being in town.  We had a couple of days off so it would not be so tight and congested around the office and I believe that was a good idea not just cause we got a couple of days off, but it has the possiblity to get loud with everyone talking in a small place, so the fewest amount of people defintaely help that.  We have had many trips around the surrounding area to promote the Royals during the CWS and just get our faces out to community while the Royals are on the road.  The office has been work as usual but it is hard when you can hear the crowds out in the stadium bowl, but you are glad because you know it is packed out there and really hot.

With the College World Series being in town, it kinda of brings past and present baseball all-stars to Omaha.  Recently I had the chance to meet one of the best pitchers in the past 30 years, Orel Hershiser.  I met him while he was exiting one of the games and while I was getting ready to leave the stadium.  He was very kind to stop and wait as we tried to get a few pictures with him.  After the encounter with the former Cy Young winner, I called my mom to tell her the news because she was a big fan of his.  She preceded to tell me that she use to sing in the choir with his wife while she still lived in Mattoon, IL.  

The crazy things that happen and you see at the CWS, it happens to be a small world after all.   

Well the College World Series has arrived and they have taken over our office here at Rosenblatt.  When the NCAA comes in, all of our staff has to squeeze into one area of the stadium and continue to work.  The tough part is that we only have seven games in June at home with the team going on a three week road trip.  The clean-up process was very quick as we had to take all of the Royals memorablia, sponsor signs and seat covers down.  Since the NCAA does not represent professional sports, we had to remove all of our signage so that they could put up all of their teams signage. 

The Royals office is still work as usual, it is just a little different with the games going on outside.  I feel like I should be out there thinking it is a Royals game, but then I remember that it is just the CWS.  I will have to say that the college games are a little boring considering they don't have Bungee Pulls or Giant Diamond Rolls going on during the innings.  Also they don't play music during the a-bat which makes the innings drag on. 

As I go through my first CWS, I realize that Minor League Baseball is about the family fun enterntainment plus the baseball game.  While the CWS is more about the baseball game.  That is a big difference and one that each fan should see if they were to go to a Royals game and a CWS game.
