Podcast: Kansas City Baseball Vault

To listen to the Jason Parks podcast from December 6th before the Wil Myers trade, check out this link.

The Kansas City Baseball Vault is a weekly podcast discussing the Royals recent news, their prospects, and all things Kansas City baseball.

The Kansas City Baseball Vault began on ESPN 1510 AM with the crew from the Royalman Report joining with the Kansas City Baseball Historical Society to bring the best of Kansas City baseball past, present and future. In late August, the crew branched off to combine the spirit of both shows into one.

Michael Engel, Troy Olsen and Jeff Herr are your hosts for the Vault, blending analysis with some fun and always displaying enthusiasm and love of the game.
