    Episode 159: Whit Merrifield - Underappreciated Superstar

    Whit Merrifield might be the best-kept secret in Major League baseball today. He’s led the American League in at least one offensive category—many times multiple categories—every full season he’s played. Yet few outside of Kansas City can tell you much about him. He’s one of the leaders of the youthful Kansas City Royals, and he’s very candid about his desire to bring a winner back to the Heartland.

    Episode 158: Collin Klein - Face of K-State Football

    It sounds strange to say that Collin Klien is the face of the Kansas State football program since he’s neither a current player nor the head coach. But there are few who will disagree. Klien played quarterback for the Wildcats from 2009-12. He was the Big 12 Offensive Player of the Year and a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2012. He has risen through the coaching ranks to offensive coordinator, and no doubt will be the head coach at some point. He’s even married to former K-State women’s hoops player (and daughter of a K-State all-American linebacker) Shalin Spani.
