He Said, She Said is a series of editorial discussions between Outside Pitch MLB contributor, Abby Clopton, and her favorite Kansas City Royals fan, her husband, Austin. As the Kansas City Royals ride their longest losing streak of the season, the Minnesota Twins have snuck up on them and everybody else. The Twins have etched five straight wins in the books, while the Royals look ahead to getting over their slump at Wrigley Field. The result? A two-way tie atop the American League Central.

It’s been reported and amended here on Outside Pitch MLB, the firestorm the New York Yankees caused by not participating in the Kansas City Royals Salute to the Negro Leagues. Not only did the Yankees say it was not intentional, now they’re making up for it in a big way.
