Noah Cameron jerseys fly off Rally House shelves
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- St. Joseph native Noah Cameron made his Major League Baseball debut on the last day of April, and for a few days, his name adorned jerseys at Rally House at the North Shoppes.
Cameron is a former Central High School player and now plays in the Royals Triple-A affiliate, the Omaha Storm Chasers.
Receiving inventory specialist Carter Hewitt at Rally House said the shipment came in Monday.
"As soon as he got the call up we ordered them that day and they started making them that day," Hewitt said.
The store had a limited supply of Cameron jerseys already, and is looking to potentially order more. Hewitt said people came in with stories about knowing the ball player before he became a professional.
"Everybody has some connection to him we hear a bunch of stuff," He said. "Our UPS driver actually bought a couple because he used to play baseball with him so he came in and bought a couple last night."
Cameron is back down to the Triple-A team but the act has not slowed down demand. Hewitt said a lot of people have still asked for them, despite Cameron going back down to the Chasers.
He said the St. Joseph Rally House is the only store selling jerseys, but they can also be purchased online or by going to the Rally House Kansas City's Power and Light District to make a custom jersey.
"I think it is big for St. Joseph, there's so many people that want them," Hewitt said. "We had a lot of kids ask for them already because they go to Central or they have a connection with him somehow."
