Country music helps charity, suits up for Kansas City club
SURPRISE, Ariz. — Garth Brooks gets his hits in country music, not in baseball.
"The guys have told me not to quit my day job," the music star said yesterday, his first day in spring training with the Kansas City Royals.
Brooks, 42, was invited to the Royals' camp to raise awareness for his Teammates for Kids Foundation, which has raised more than $40 million.
He previously attended spring training with the San Diego Padres and the New York Mets.
He is 1-for-39 in exhibition games, his lone hit a single in 1999.

I just love KU baseball boys.
to work on those lay ups
Bill Self is a dip. Take Moody and Hawkins out of the game.
Shut up, Dick Vitale. Nobody likes you.
I would just like to say that Padgett is probably the biggest tool ever in the history of Kansas basketball. Eric Chenowith is much better.
David Padgett just missed two wide open lay ups. You have to throw that down, big man.
Someone should send Pedgett two bottles of Windex because he is no longer our wax man.
KU's new mascot should be the Bad Boys because we always get spanked.
Dick Vitale may speak the truth about Kansas basketball on the road, but I don't like his bald head.
I swear to God if Dick Vitale says one more bad thing about Kansas I will not be held responsible for what will happen.
Padgett, I love you buddy but you have got
I am convinced that Eric Chenowith died and came back as Padgett.
If David Padgett likes the Dave Matthews Band then we are in big trouble.
Bill, if you are not going to start Graves please start Moody.
Jeff Graves is a thug. That is all there is to it.
Jeff Graves needs to get his head out of his ass and start playing for the team.
Dick Vitale is the most ignorant human being alive.
Jeff Graves, you need to go to Mizzou if you are going to play like this.
If you are under the basket, dunk the basketball.
Hey, Graves, when are you going to grow up and stop acting like a thug?
David Padgett is the worst player to ever put on a college basketball uniform.
Graves, it is all your fault that David Padgett is playing.
I think David Padgett and Eric Chenowith were separated at birth.
KU needs to learn how to dunk the basketball, and there is no penguin in my African safari.
Sweet beauty mark, Padgett.
Padgett, why didn't you choose Duke?
Football season can't come fast enough.
This goes to show you that even basketball players can use Clearasil.
I know what the Jayhawks need. The perfect cheer.
As far as I am concerned Jeff Graves just lost us a second game.
I think that we can all agree that Danny Manning is the best thing that has happened to Kansas basketball this year.
