Today's episode is going to be a home run! We are rejoined by Matt Stewart, an Emmy award-winning anchor and reporter at Fox 4 News in Kansas City, and author of "⁠Unique Eats and Eateries of Kansas City⁠." Today, he tells us about his newest work, "⁠The Kansas City Royals: An Illustrated Timeline⁠," an opulent and detailed account of the Kansas City Royals baseball team history.

This beautiful book offers a captivating journey from the franchise's origin in 1969 to its stellar World Series triumphs, filled with rich visuals and a committed examination of the team's legacy.

Stewart shares insights into the Royals' past, explaining how the team received its name through a contest and why blue and white became their colors. He also expresses his long-standing fandom for the Royals, tracing back to 1987, and how that passion influenced his writing.

Stewart also ponders the current state and future of baseball in America, questioning whether it still holds its status as the national pastime and discussing changes meant to adapt the game to modern audiences. He also comments on reporting around the Kansas City Royals' attempt to acquire a n⁠ew downtown stadium⁠.
