MLB players react to incredible Royals-Athletics Wild Card Game
Baseball's postseason opened Tuesday night with a remarkable 12th-inning comeback win by the Kansas City Royals over the Oakland A's, a 9-8 victory that captivated fans and fellow MLB players alike.
The drama and underdog vibe also intrigued my wife, not much of a baseball fan but now a Royals backer apparently, who couldn't believe the volume inside Kauffman stadium (101.1 decibels) which was packed with fans who waited 29 years (or their entire lives) for Tuesday night's moment.
Current and former baseball players chimed in from start to finish. Here's what they said, in mostly chronological order:
