Even during what is seemingly a successful night at the ballpark for the Kansas City Royals and their fans, misfortune plagues Kauffman Stadium. Despite pummeling the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday, the home team was forced to remove its most important player, who also happens to be one of the best players in the world today. Bobby Witt Jr. left the game with knee discomfort.
Last place is not enough, huh? The Royals now have to watch the MVP contender exit in visible pain. He suffered the injury while sliding to field a Jordan Walker ground ball in the fourth inning. Witt pushed through but came out when his team went up to bat.
