In a matter of hours, the Royals will play games that count

The Royals’ 2019 season officially begins Thursday when the Chicago White Sox will visit Kauffman Stadium. First pitch is at 3:15 p.m.

Ahead of the game, the Royals groundskeepers prepared the field by painting the opening day logo behind home plate.
