The Kansas City Royals and Tampa Bay Rays met at Tropicana Field this past weekend, which set up quite the matchup.

No, not Johnny Cueto versus Evan Longoria. Royals pitcher Jeremy Guthrie against Rays ball boy Bobby.

Guthrie, who is a starting pitcher, spent time in the weekend series sitting in the bullpen with the Kansas City relievers. While he was there, he put his time to good use.

This MLB season has produced a youth infusion unlike any other in recent memory, with almost every team calling up their top prospects and watching them make an immediate impact.

While studs like Kris Bryant, Miguel Sano, Carlos Correa and Noah Syndergaard have already broken through to the big leagues, more prospects will find their ways in the majors when rosters expand. Many September call-ups will have the opportunity to influence the playoff races in each respective league and make a positive first impression moving forward. 

For the first time ever, eight-year-old Thomas Walkup recently got to see Los Angeles Angels superstar Mike Trout clearly—and he got to do it in person.

Thomas developed infantile nystagmus syndrome, aka "shaky eyes," shortly after birth. He was unable to see anything clearly, meaning there were certain things he wouldn't be able to do, such as play baseball.

Longtime Cleveland Indians executive Mark Shapiro announced Monday he will be leaving the franchise after more than two decades to become the president and CEO of the Toronto Blue Jays and Rogers Centre.

Shapiro said in a statement on the Indians' TribeVibe blog:

Much like kids rushing downstairs Christmas morning, some of the top prospects in baseball will head to their respective ballparks on Sept. 1 wondering what lies in store for them when they arrive.

Will they be in the day's lineup, or will their manager call them into his office to give them the news they're heading to the major leagues, making their lifelong dreams a reality?
