Jeremy Guthrie might have retired from the sneaker game, but a couple of his former teammates are just getting started with their collections. Cronkite News was on hand at the Kansas City Royals's spring training to interview Eric Hosmer and Jarrod Dyson about Guthrie's influence on their sneaker games. 

With both of their collections featuring popular sneakers like the adidas Yeezy Boost 350 and various Air Jordan Retro models, the two Major Leaguers showed off their collections, while crediting Guthrie. "Coming off a couple of years of being Jeremy Guthrie's teammate,  I think I have no choice but to get into Jordans now," said Hosmer. Dyson talked about how much his collection has grown since the time he started playing with Guthrie. "I just started buying more and more when I got around him" said Dyson. Guthrie certainly left a presence behind the Royals' team, on and off the mound.
