The Kansas City T-Bones have announced that Buddy Biancalana will be at CommunityAmerica Ballpark on Friday, Aug. 7.
Biancalana, starting shortstop on the Kansas City Royals’ 1985 world championship team, will be throwing out a first pitch and then signing autographs during the ‘80’s Night game on Friday in Kansas City, Kan.
Biancalana hit .278 and played errorless defense during the 1985 World Series against St. Louis. He gained fame during August of the 1985 season when Late Night host David Letterman brought out a “Buddy Biancalana Hit Counter” to show Biancalana’s “chase” of all-time hits leaders Pete Rose and Ty Cobb.
The T-Bones game vs. Joplin begins at 7:05 p.m., with gates opening at 5:30.
