Way to go man! Love hearing this stuff! 5.5 years sober for me! Alcohol free is way to be ❤
Way to go Emma. You gave him the wake up call he needed and made him a better person.
Lucas, I am so very proud of you! Keep coming back to meetings, brother!
"That's a lot of my life I got back." So true. You're my new favorite baseball player for putting your story out there. Sober since 6/20/18.
Congrats to Lucas!! And Emma has nothing to be sorry for. Those emotions are valid and I'm glad she could be open/vulerable.
Awesome story!
That was very moving. Thank you Lucas, Emma, and KC Royals for sharing his story.
Great job Lucas & Royals organization! Just keep waking up & doing your best. It will be enough!
Bravo.
I'm no one to talk, and a tee-totaler myself. It's remarkable you arrived at such a major decision when you're still young enough, and vital enough to play actively. I wish you the absolute best for a long, healthy life. A good friend of mine gave up drinking entirely about 8 yrs ago – he has no regrets to my knoeledge whatever. You're doing yourself a major favor.
The Croatian sensation
This is a great story and thank you for sharing. Showing emotion and sharing a story like this isn't easy, but it helps people everyday see that there is always hope no matter how bad things look.
Ordering his jersey asap
This really affected me. I have a similar problem and I can identify with his pain. Big fan of his, and Bubic of KC. Good guy, wish him the best but yeah this story is heart felt. Much luck and well wishes to Erceg.
Congratulations Lucas!
So much pressure on 20-30 year olds to drink. Pro baseball adds to it. Drinking in the clubhouse after the game, promoting alcohol, it also used to be cigarettes. Goodness the banned chew in the minors.
20 March 2002. That moment of clarity is a real thing. I never thought I would make it to 30. I'll be 55 next week. Life is better!
There's one more player to cheer for now
Congratulations Lucus! Go Royals!
Congrats! Makes me root for you even harder! Go Royals!
Thank you for sharing your comeback!
been a huge royals fan for a long time when u came to the team I looked you up and was so happy to have a amazing person and to see your amazing story was great. btw I love the glove u had on last season
Awe. Lucas and Emma are amazing people. Its not just about baseball and they get that. Way to be vulnerable. Lucas has become a favorite player of mine and this is further proof why.
