The Royals will host the Chicago Cubs on Sunday, July 28th for our annual Salute to the Negro Leagues game. We’ll play some ball and raise awareness and funds for the Negro League Baseball Museum here in Kansas City. To honor the 100th Anniversary of the first Negro League World Series, both the Royals and the Cubs will wear custom hats.
The Royals will wear 1924 Kansas City Monarchs hats with a 100th Anniversary Negro League World Series patch, and the Cubs’ hats will feature a Buck O’Neil 1962 autograph patch. Starting that day, game-used hats will be auctioned off at royals.com/auction and cubs.com/auction. Net auction proceeds will directly benefit the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. The first 10,000 fans through the gates will receive a Monarchs hat. All gates will open at 11:30 a.m.
