With the Royals making the playoffs for the first time since 1985, postseason tickets are at a premium in Kansas City. But sometimes, it's not who you know to get hooked up with some seats. It's who you ask. Take the case of a fan named Nicholas Knapple. Like many fans, Knapple wanted tickets. Unlike everyone else, he asked Royals rookie pitcher Brandon Finnegan for help on Twitter.
Finnegan, the Royals' first-round pick this year from TCU, answered the call. See how this ticket transaction unfolded with these exchanges on Twitter:
