If you were one of the tens of thousands of people in and around Kauffman Stadium last night- waiting for a spectacular fireworks show- here's what happened- from a spokesperson with J & M Fireworks- the company that put on the shows Tuesday and what would have been Wednesday- July 4 too.
That spokesperson (who I am related to for fairness of disclosure) stated "water" from the severe thunderstorm that struck yesterday evening (and delayed the start of the ballgame 20 minutes) "got into the computerized firing board" therefore making a safe ignition of the fireworks impossible.
The Royals are offering paying fans a rain check for any of the upcoming games the rest of this season.
A Royals' spokesperson also said "Friday night's (regular) fireworks show may run a little longer."
Both J & M Fireworks and the Royal's management have offered apologies to all who were disappointed by the lack of a July 4 fireworks show at Kauffman Stadium.
Hey- Mother Nature trumps all sometimes....

I was pretty impressed with all the shootings and stabbings on the 4th and into the early hours of the 5th. Apparently, people made up for the lack of fireworks at the stadium by putting on their own shows using bullets.
Heck of a night!
I hear you.
Realize tho- these moral-less people don't need a holiday for that stuff! lol
