Manager Tim Johnson still paying for the lie he told.(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Wright Thompson
KANSAS CITY, Mo. _ He's been praised, loved, cursed, mocked _ and now Tim Johnson sits in a visitor's dugout, watching his Lincoln (Neb.) Saltdogs take batting practice before playing the Kansas City T-Bones. This is barely professional baseball: the Northern League, home to castoffs, wannabes and dreamers.
While his former colleagues prepare for the All-Star Game in Chicago, he works in Kansas City, wondering how he ever fell this far.
"Where are the Royals tonight?" he asks.
When told it's the All-Star break, he looks shocked.
"I forgot," he says quietly. His eyes say even more: I can't believe I'm so far from real baseball that I didn't even know it was All-Star Game day.
"(Baseball) gives you a lot of good times and a lot of heartache," he says, staring out at the field.
