The Royals had one of their Major League video assistants suit up this week for a game against the Red Sox, but there was never a chance he would pitch, hit or even coach.
Drew Epperson is part of the Royals’ Major League Support Staff, so it was a surprise to have him put on the team’s uniform.

But the surprise was not for Epperson or anyone on the Royals.
Epperson’s father is Red Sox third base coach Chad Epperson, and he was touched to see his son on the field. They met at home plate ahead of Tuesday’s game as they exchanged lineup cards.
“It really wasn’t on the bingo card a couple weeks ago. It’s surreal,” Drew Epperson told The Boston Globe, per Mass Live. “Growing up, I went to the field with him all the time. Never in a million years did I imagine this.”
The Red Sox television crew caught the touching moment at Kauffman Stadium.
