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.

We’ll be back next week with more discussion of Kansas City baseball, past, present and future on ESPN 1510 Thursday at 6 p.m. CST.

You can catch up on old episodes of the Kansas City Baseball Vault here on Kings of Kauffman. Episodes of the Royalman Report are available on the site as well.

Tonight we continue an exciting new venture for Kings of Kauffman and its podcast, the Royalman Report.

Jeff Logan of the Kansas City Baseball Historical Society joins forces with us to form the Kansas City Baseball Vault on Kansas City’s ESPN 1510 AM from 6-7 p.m. every Thursday night. Listeners can tune into traditional radio or streaming live on 1510.com.

I think tonight’s going to be a fun show.

We’re going to talk with Royals catcher Brayan Pena about working with pitchers, the talk around what the Royals will do with their catching situation, interacting with fans and otherwise shoot the breeze with the affable catcher.

We’ll also have Greg Pryor from the 1985 World Championship team in studio to talk with us about that team and what he’s doing now in baseball.

Just like last week, we plan to have a trivia question and a giveaway, so be sure to listen in. Last week, listeners won free ticket packages to go see the Kansas City T-Bones. You like winning things, right? That trivia question can happen any time, so you have to listen to be ready.
