WOW!!!  It's is an exciting time!  KC Royals will be hosting the 2012 All Star Games!!  How exciting can this be! Kansas City will be in the spot light once again to show off how wonderful of a city we have! Kansas City hasn't hasn't hosted the games since 1973!  Now with all the updates (at a tune of 250 million) they did to the Kauffman Stadium - it should be a showcase!! "The Royals have plenty to show off when the All-Stars and fans from around the nation come to visit next summer. Kauffman Stadium, which opened in '73, has long been one of the game's more charming parks, but the renovations that were unveiled in '09 make it a true jewel of a place to take in a game."  Of course the local fans there is no better place to watch baseball!
