We were fortunate to talk with Royals catcher Brayan Pena on the Vault this week and he explained how he stays positive all the time, the dynamics of the clubhouse in Kansas City, the impending return of Salvador Perez and the understanding that he might be the odd man out. Brayan’s a fan favorite already, and it’s easy to see why.

Also on the show, we talked with Greg Pryor from the 1985 World Championship team and he discussed the feeling in the clubhouse during the series and the factors that drove them to victory. Pryor was in the lineup for two strange baseball games in his career and shared his recollection of Disco Demolition Night in 1979 and the Pine Tar Game of 1983.
