I write about baseball and the Royals for The Kansas City Star (@KCStar). My blog about the quirky side of sports was ranked No. 1 in the world by my mom.

How about if Netflix has this issue with the Chiefs game on Christmas Day?

Yes, it feels like we should all be able to file criminal complaints against Netflix. No, we can’t.

Alex Rodriguez was the only shortstop in MLB history for a career to have Batting Title Gold Glove Silver Slugger Bobby Witt Jr just did that in the same season.

It's all season, including the summer months.

Until school is out or all year? #Royals



The Royals announced their home games in 2025 will begin at 6:40 p.m. on weekdays. It'll be 7:10 p.m. on Fridays.


Unbelievable!


Such a beautiful tribute. It's crushing to lose a heart dog.

This is really hard to write but so many of you have loved and cared about Ben that I wanted to let you know. We found out today the cancer had spread throughout Bens organs and there was nothing left we could do-we had to let him go. I’ve had dogs my whole life but Ben was 1 on…

The Royals and Diamond Sports Group are in talks now and it wouldn't surprise me to see a similar deal for KC. With sports gambling coming to Missouri, it would get FanDuel's name in front of fans during baseball season.

Diamond Sports Group and the Cardinals have announced a new, multi-year linear and digital rights agreement. The recently renamed FanDuel Sports Network Midwest will continue broadcasting all games with the exception of those exclusively televised nationally.

Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce had his first 100-yard receiving game this season. He had 14 catches for exactly 100 yards.


And that's the what DeAndre Hopkins can bring to the Chiefs offense that has been missing.


Big Royals news as they signed pitcher Michael Wacha to a three-year contact.

One of the best stories from this World Series: Carlos Carrasco wanted to be in attendance for the Clemente Award presentation for Salvador Perez, so he paid his own way and bought tickets on his own to honor his friend.


Royals catcher Salvador Perez won the Roberto Clemente Award. He was honored for "efforts to build healthy and active communities in his native Valencia, Venezuela, his baseball home of Kansas City."


What an incredible defensive stand by the #Chiefs


Man, that Mahomes run was shades of his TD in the AFC title game win over the Titans.


Man, baseball is the best.
