If you need a player or team to root for in Omaha may I suggest Houston Markham & @TroyTrojansBSB.
I just watched him spend 10 minutes taking photos, signing autographs, and talking with young fans at open practice.
This is what Omaha is all about.
Little Rock fan Kale Twombly flew into Montgomery, caught an Uber to Troy and spent the weekend cheering on his team from the outfield.
Throughout the weekend, Troy fans noticed him in the outfield and made sure Kale was taken care of. They gave him rides back to his hotel after the games, fed him, checked on him and really treated him like one of their own.
On Sunday, Kale couldn’t find an Uber back to Montgomery to catch his flight. (Also couldn’t get a rental) Through the friends he made over the weekend, a Facebook post caught the attention of Executive Associate Director of Athletics, Adam Prendergast. The post asked if someone would be kind enough to drive Kale from Troy to MGM to catch his flight. Adam quickly stepped up and Kale made it back to the airport.
Kale left with an official game ball from the weekend and a lot of great memories!
