I've always been drawn to people that I can say about them,

hey, that person made the most out of every single day.

Former Royals reliever Jamie Bluma is one of those people.

Bluma pitched at Wichita State during the Golden Era, went to three college world series

in a row with an earned run average of 0.48 before being drafted by the Royals.

Entering the big leagues at a time that bullpins were really changing and becoming more valued,

Bluma was the next in line after Jeff Montgomery.

In 1996, Bluma got his chance at the end of the year

and was five for five in saves. Everything looked bright. The next spring, he makes the team

and then injures his right shoulder. Pretty much the first injury he ever had, and it was never

the same after that. But it sure didn't stop Jamie Bluma. Bluma kept trying to play,

and when that didn't work out, he wound up being pitching coach for the Anchorage, Alaska

Glacier Pilots. Then he would settle back in Kansas City beginning her career coaching young

pitchers. Now with a company called Home Field, Bluma's doing what he loves, teaching baseball,

raising money for his Red, White, and Bluma.org

Foundation, and when he has time catching a few fish. He's had a very, very interesting life.

He once ruptured his Achilles on the side of the road in an ice storm, helping kids that were in a car wreck,

and says he's lucky to be alive today after falling off an 18-foot

ladder at the gym. Oh, he's got stories and a big heart. We'd both be thrilled if any of you
