Let’s bring you the sights and sounds of a special sports moment in time. Enjoy!
Pushing Through and Giving Back
A truly remarkable conversation with the former Kansas City Royal and longtime major leaguer. He battled through Tourette Syndrome, with symptoms appearing at age 6 but long undiagnosed, to forge an impressive baseball career, and founded a foundation that helps many others in their own fight. A inspirational and uplifting story.
