Brooks recorded two strikeouts in two innings of an outing he will surely never forget.
Congrats to @BrooksPounders, who collected 2 Ks in his 1st inning of Major League work!https://t.co/Nf96ZmuowH pic.twitter.com/KMBeFQpATY

Thank you to everyone for the continuous love and support. It's been a long bumpy road but last night was definitely a dream come true.

It was also a big week for several other Royals/former Storm Chasers, who were named to play in the MLB All-Star Game. That included first time nods for both Eric Hosmer and Wil Myers.

Myers, meanwhile, gets to stay at home since the San Diego Padres are the host city.
Excited for the next couple days. Heading over to #FanFest now!

One of the perks about being an All-Star: you get to hang out with Big Papi.

The MLB All-Star Game and Home Run Derby aren't the only shows in town during the festivities, though. Storm Chasers Hunter Dozier and Jorge Bonifacio played in the All-Star Futures Game this past Sunday. Dozier tweeted this video out upon arrival.
In San Diego for the Futures Game! @elboni4 #futuresgame https://t.co/Tq0KeJoduF

Jorge looked good in the World Team uniforms, with both teams' jerseys based off the Padres' old throwback uniforms.

And finally, this is the sort of thing you feel like happens a lot when you have a name like Will Smith.
Lady at the hair cut place asked for first and last name. Told her then she laughed DIRECTLY in my face haha. Not the 1st won't be the last

2016 Storm Chasers Jorge Bonifacio (World Team) and Hunter Dozier (Team USA) played in this year's SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game in San Diego. Name the two 2015 Storm Chasers players who participated in last year's Futures Game.
One fan who retweets and replies correctly will receive a Royals camo jersey (size medium)!
