Kansas City, KC Posted by Dr. Jeremy Fry - Yesterday, we were very lucky to have Kansas City Royals Great, Willie Wilson, stop by the office from 2-5p and sign autographs and meet patients and people from the community. I remember watching Willie as a kid…back when the Royals were awesome! He played like no center fielder we’ve had since.

If Dr. William Busch gets his wish, every city in America will soon have its own TeamSmile program.

It was 29 years ago today -- Sept. 23, 1980 -- that Willie Wilson reached a club-record 216 hits by going three for four in a 7-3 loss at Seattle. Wilson broke the record of 215 by George Brett in 1976. Wilson finished with 230 hits, which remains the club record.

Willie Wilson never got to say a proper goodbye to Kansas City. Until Saturday, that is, when he started in center field and led off for the T-Bones after signing a one-day contract. A beloved and central figure on the Royals’ 1985 World Series championship team, Wilson spent his first 15 seasons in Kansas City from 1976 to 1990 before wrapping up a 19-year career with the Oakland A’s and Chicago Cubs. Local baseball fans showered Wilson, the Royals’ all-time leader in steals, with cheers and gave him several standing ovations during the T-Bones’ 3-2 victory over the Joliet JackHammers at CommunityAmerica Ballpark.

KANSAS CITY, Kan. — The T-Bones and general manager Chris Browne have announced that they will sign Royals Hall of Famer Willie Wilson to a one-day contract for their game against the Joliet JackHammers on August 22. Wilson will wear #6 and start in center field for the T-Bones. The relationship between Browne and Wilson extends back a couple of decades, when Browne was a bat boy for the Royals for seven seasons, beginning with their 1985 World Series season.

There is nothing unusual about a bunch of kids at the ballpark flashing their team spirit. What was a bit odd was that the seats are empty, the field was bare and the doctor was in. By the end of the day, dentists saw more than 250 children at Miller Park. They got treatment, screening and dental health education. It was about $240,000 worth of care at no cost.

MILWAUKEE, WI - More than 250 children from the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee received free dental care this week at a most unlikely location: Miller Park. This unique clinic setting was made possible by a contribution to Brewers Charities from outfielder Mike Cameron. His gift brought the TeamSmile program to Milwaukee on Thursday, July 23, from 10:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m., in the Brewers Conference Center on the Left Field/Terrace Level in Miller Park.

Willie Wilson Baseball and TeamSmile provided free dental screening and treatment to several hundred children on Friday, July 17.

Willie Wilson, Brewers Charities, Brewers Outfielder Mike Cameron, and TeamSmile have teamed up for the first annual TeamSmile with the Milwaukee Brewers on Thursday July 23rd benefiting the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee.

Non-profit organization adds events in 2009 thanks to plenty of support from dental manufacturers, volunteers, pro sports by Stan Goff, Executive Editor When times get tough, it’s often much more difficult to find enough support to help causes that count heavily on donations and volunteer efforts. But that is not the case with TeamSmile, a non-profit organization that plans to expand this year and help as many needy children get dental care as it can. TeamSmile, a dental outreach and flagship program of Henry Schein Cares, kicked off the 2009 calendar year with an event tied to college football’s East-West Shrine Game in Houston back in January.

The Royals Hall of Fame Classic presented by Willie Wilson Baseball and Farmland Foods is on Friday, July 17 at Kauffman Stadium in conjunction with the grand opening of the Royals Hall of Fame.

About 300 children received dental exams, cleanings, X-rays and restorative care in portable dental units near the 18th hole at TPC Summerlin golf course in Las Vegas Oct. 14 during the Justin Timberlake Shriners Hospitals for Children Open.

Recently, the Kansas City Chiefs and TeamSmile held the third annual “Kansas City Oral Health Care Day.” This dental outreach program included hundreds of metro-area youth, professionals from the dental field donating their services, and Chiefs players spreading cheer. In all, over 500 patients were seen as they received $440,000 worth of donated dental services.

On Saturday, Busch and a team of 10 dentists and more than 50 other volunteers provided free dental care, food and fun at the Boys & Girls Club of Greater Kansas City.

TeamSmile is pleased to announce that Kansas City Royal Hall of Famer Willie Wilson will be the Kansas City Spokesperson for the group’s 2008 activities.

From Monday, November 26- December 9, 50 cents from every Gingerbread Latte, Peppermint Mocha or Eggnog Latte sold at Starbucks in the Kansas City area was donated to the Children's Miracle Network.
