History and His Story
On the eve of the playoffs, it's a perfect time to reprise our conversation just before the season with Rustin Dodd. The KC native and writer for The Athletic released his book "Kingdom Quarterback" in August. A great read, it adroitly combines Kansas City history with Patrick Mahomes story. An absorbing conversation on multiple levels. Enjoy!
Story Telling and Story Teller Revisited
I have been revisiting Joe Posnanski's fine book "The Baseball 100" as we head toward the postseason, and thought that makes it a perfect time to revisit our fabulous discussion from earlier this year. A great life's journey, obviously well told. Enjoy again or for the first time!
Different Roles, Same Goals
A fabulous opportunity to catch up with Sam Mellinger in his new role as Royals Vice President of Communications, and to revisit our wonderful profile conversation. As expected, honest, emotional, witty and compelling then and now.
A Boyhood Passion Sticks
An absolute personification of hometown boy makes good, the Kansas City Star columnist took a youthful passion and made it a career. A candid, revealing, emotional, and funny conversation.
