Royals vs. Guardians moved up due to frigid weather conditions in Cleveland
WE ALSO SPOKE TO THE FANS AND WE ARE WANTING A CHAMPIONSHIP RING THIS YEAR. AND SPEAKING OF A CHAMPIONSHIP RING BEFORE THE PITCH, WE TALKED TO ONE WOMAN WHO HAS A RING OF HER OWN. KMBC9 ERIC GRAVES HAS HER STORY TONIGHT WALKING INTO KAUFFMAN STADIUM FOR THE FIRST GAME OF THE YEAR. TODAY, THERE’S A BUZZ IN THE AIR, BUT IT’S FOR MORE THAN JUST BASEBALL. ROYALS. OPENING DAY IS FULL OF MEMORIES, BUT THE BEST MOMENT MONDAY MIGHT HAVE COME BEFORE THE FIRST PITCH. IT’S BEEN A LONG DAY. WE HAD TO DRIVE DOWN FROM OMAHA, SO 2.5 HOUR CAR RIDE WAS A LITTLE NERVE WRACKING FOR ME. HOURS BEFORE THE ROYALS TOOK THE FIELD AND IN A SEA OF EXCITED TAILGATERS, STEPHEN MITCHELL HAD ONLY ONE THING ON HIS MIND, AND IT WASN’T BASEBALL. WELL, HE POPPED THE QUESTION ABOUT A HALF HOUR AGO, RIGHT BEFORE WE WERE GOING TO WALK INTO THE K MITCHELL HIS NEW FIANCÉE, AMY, HASN’T STOPPED SMILING. SHE WAS NOT EXCITED TO TAKE PHOTOS TO START, BUT I THINK SHE’S GOING TO BE EXCITED TO TAKE ANY PHOTOS SHE WANTS TODAY. OH, A PICTURE PERFECT SURPRISE MARRIAGE PROPOSAL RIGHT IN FRONT OF GATE D IN KAUFFMAN STADIUM. WHILE WE WERE TAKING A PHOTO. AND THEN HE TURNED AND HE WAS LIKE, JUST WAIT A SECOND. AND THEN HE GOT DOWN ON ONE KNEE. AND I, I DON’T KNOW, I WAS SO SHOCKED. I KIND OF BLACKED OUT A LITTLE BIT. AN EASY YES FOR AMY ON ONE OF HER FAVORITE DAYS OF THE YEAR. THIS WAS A REALLY SPECIAL DAY. MIGHT THROW HER OFF. SHE’S NOT GOING TO BE EXPECTING IT. WE’RE JUST HERE FOR BASEBALL. BUT IT TURNED OUT TO BE A REALLY GREAT DAY WITH SASH SHADES AND BRAND NEW ENGAGEMENT RINGS SPARKLING IN THE AFTERNOON SUN, THE HAPPY COUPLE HEADED INTO THE CAVE FOR THE SECOND MOST EXCITING PART OF THEIR DAY. THE ROYALS HOME OPENER. ANYTHING ELSE YOU GUYS WOULD LIKE TO SAY? GO ROYALS. ROYALS. THERE YOU GO. CONGRATS TO THE FUTURE MR. AND
