The New York Post reports that Royals right fielder Jeff Francoeur and manager Ned Yost took Broxton on a bow hunting trip at the Foxworthy Farm, a 40,000-acre estate in Georgia owned by the ginger purveyor of redneck jokes. While on the trip, they convinced the pitcher to sign with the club.
Broxton, a Georgia native, was convinced that Kansas City was the place for him, and Francoeur told the Post, I’m not much of a hunter, but that hunting trip really worked out well," and added, "I think we’re going to have a pretty good little team now in Kansas City."
Well, let's not get ahead of ourselves. But clearly Francoeur knew his mark. The Post reports that Broxton decided to join the Royals despite Mets superstar David Wright trying to recruit him with just a lame old phone call.

You are a redneck when you think John Deere is a letter to your sweetheart that you are about to break up with...And I do like Jeff Foxworthy
We`ll see if anywon is thanking Foxworthy aphter the seezon.If he does`nt do the job Royals already are prepaired they cut loose of Frank White for doing his job well and showing what kind of organization they`ve become a true Royal and loyal to K.C. was`nt enought maybe they should sign this guy to write colums for the teem if he gets a blue crayon for his 4th burthday.
Dear John Deere, go back to school and learn how to spell "enought".
