KCFD hats on sale Thursday

There is an overwhelming by the demand for the caps, and they are pleased that so many people in the community are anxious to help out, said Cumpy’s owner Andrew Romano.

“I jumped at the opportunity”. “So I can only imagine what their families are going through”.

“I cried. Yeah, I mean this is kind of life-changing for me”, said victor Katie Gieseke. “Losing anybody in the line of duty like that, it’s hard, but to actually know them for a long time, it hurts even a little bit more”. “I’ve never played it and last night, we did”.

Royals first baseman Eric Hosmer, whose father Mike is a retired Miami firefighter, wore a Kansas City Fire Department shirt during batting practice on Tuesday.

“We have friends that are firefighters”. “My dad would work 48-hour shifts and be off for 24 hours, and whenever you talk to him on the phone, and you hear the bell ringing at the station and he has to go on a run, there’s always nerves that something could happen”. “It’s everything that I love, that all of us love about this city. It touched my heart and I had to come down here and support them”, Lucas Clark said.

Also attending Wednesday’s game at Kauffman Stadium is the baseball fan known as Marlin’s Man. He posted a photo on social media showing he was wearing a special KCFD t-shirt over his customary orange attire in tribute to the fallen firefighters. “It’s always a tough time, and nervous, to wait for a call back”.

The store is located at 8118 U.S. Highway 69.

It was very busy at other T-shirt shops around the metro too after the Royals big win.
