Squeeze Play

The big crowds on hand to see the Royals battle the Yankees this week might be disappointed by more than just the good guys getting walloped. With the exception of special events like opening day and series against popular teams, there's been plenty of elbow room in Kauffman Stadium this season. A full house, however, means that patrons are forced to sit in adjacent seats. And they're simply not big enough to accommodate Kansas City-sized patrons. The unfortunate fellow in the white shirt isn't undersized- his buddies are the new enormous norm. "The K" is a great venue. But a $12 ticket certainly didn't buy this guy any breathing room.
