Glass Houses

Craig Brown at Royals Authority pens an open letter to David Glass.

Did you happen to see any of the baseball this weekend at the Stadium? I ask because I know you spend much of your time in Bentonville, and rarely make it to Kansas City to actually watch the team you own in person. And since I took in the games, I just wanted to fill you in on some of the things you might have missed.

The Cardinals weekend is the best drawing series of the season, and for good reason. Everyone loves to have a rivalry, even if it’s as contrived as this one. But when your stadium is filled almost to capacity for three days and the crowds at those games are roughly 80% for the visiting team, then something is horribly wrong. Yeah, I know those Cardinal fans are the self-anointed best fans in all of baseball, but I saw almost as much red in the K on Saturday as you normally see at Arrowhead on a Chiefs game day. After the Pujols home run on Saturday, my brother commented to me that it was the loudest he had heard the stadium in almost 15 years. Does that embarrass you, Mr. Glass? It should.

Brown wants to see a full change over in the front office and scouting departments, including the departure of Glass' son from day-to-day operations of the team.
