Would-Be Wooderson: This guy graduated 3 years ago but still cruises the student section. A few seniors put up with him because he’ll buy them beer after the game, but most avoid him. Mr. G escorts him out in the 3rd quarter after he offers shoulder rubs to the female student body.

Little Drummer Girl: She’s the coolest kid in the drum line who rocks insane solos like Animal from the Muppets. Her garage band already signed with an indie label, and they toured California last summer. She’s only in marching band to get out of PE.

Mr. G: Everyone loves Mr. G, but no one knows his real name or what his actual job is at the school. He does security, takes tickets, and operates the audio equipment, all while a steady stream of students, alumni, teachers, and parents come up to give him hugs and high fives.

Grumpy Grandpa: Nominally here to watch his granddaughter in the dance team, he’s a bit put out for missing Blue Bloods. This old timer is going to complain about everything from the hard seats to the snack bar candy selection to the 16-year-old QB missing an open receiver.

5 More People You Meet at a High School Football Game NFL Referee: It’s 43-6 in the 4th quarter, there’s a running clock, and this guy is calling it close. Slightest pre-snap flinch? Flag. Incidental contact in the secondary? Flag. Hands on the side of the shoulder pad? Flag. Smacking gum? Flag.

I know empathy works in unexplainable ways, but one thing that always hits me hard is seeing a wheel pop off a folding shopping cart while someone is pushing their groceries home.

That’s true but that’s the only way he pitches in this series so he might be motivated. Try to pick spots where he starts the inning.

Schedule works out so Royals get Ragans and Wacha twice and Lugo once, with no need for 4th starter. Singer becomes a multi-inning bullpen weapon who can face the top of the lineup (maybe pitch around lefty Soto). 10/5 G1 Wacha x 10/7 G2 Ragans x 10/9 G3 Lugo 10/10 G4 Wacha x 10/12 G5 Ragans

There’s a 75% chance the AL champion comes from the AL Central
