(AP) — Eric Hosmer hit a basketball, football and volleyball for a PlayStation commercial at Surprise Stadium, the spring training home of the Kansas City Royals.Hosmer said the basketball was the easiest to hit because “it’s so big.”A baseball must have looked basketball-sized to Hosmer in the postseason last year.Hosmer hit .351 and set a franchise record with 12 RBIs in 15 games during the playoffs and World Series. He had six multihit games in the postseason, three of them with three hits.“A lot of guys didn’t have numbers they wanted to in the regular season, but turned it up in the postseason,” Hosmer said.Hosmer was one of them. He hit .270 with nine home runs and 58 RBIs, all career lows.
