Royals owner Glass spikes rumors that he wants to sell the team

“I want to be around for the good times,” Glass chuckled. “I don’t want to miss that. I think we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I think the organization is doing it the right way.

“It’s hard to have the patience that you need, but the payoff will be worth it. I absolutely believe that. I think we’re getting close, and I’m excited about it.”

Glass often gets a first-hand view in assessing many of the organization’s top prospects since he lives just minutes away from its Class AA affiliate in Northwest Arkansas.

“What’s fun is you go to the games down here,” he said, “and see all of the scouts (from other clubs) sitting behind home plate with their radar guns. It’s a sign that you do have some talent when you begin to attract the attention of other teams.

It all makes sense now. Glass wants to build the greatest AA team known to man, since that is the team he gets to watch regularly.
