Sneakergate may have erupted at Royals spring-training camp
Uh-oh.
We may have the first real controversy at the Royals’ spring-training camp.
Ten days ago, Royals pitcher Jeremy Guthrie announced he was done collecting Air Jordans. Had a special news conference and everything.
Funny thing is, Eric Hosmer took this photo in the clubhouse on Thursday:
It does appear that Guthrie is opening a shoe-sized box. Sketchy indeed, Mr. Hosmer.
But Guthrie tweeted that it was all a big misunderstanding:
Total setup. #NotWhatItLooksLike RT @TheRealHos35: Retirement???????? therealjguts sketchy bro! https://t.co/54BoHKwRZP
— Jeremy Guthrie (@TheRealJGuts) March 5, 2015Then again, maybe Hosmer didn’t mean sketchy but rather Skechers. Could be what Guthrie is collecting these days.
But more than likely Hosmer was messing with Guthrie.
