Summary

There's nothing quite like opening day in a Major League Baseball city and Monday's opener was one for the ages. There were parties, celebrity sighting, a touching moment of silence, and awesome flyover and a Royals win. There was also news made when owner John Sherman told www.kcmotalkradio.com he's still talking to Kansas and NKC about a new stadium. We have all of it for you. On the field, pitcher Kris Bubic had a much different experience starting this home opener versus the last time he did it. Did you know he had another opener? Yup, it was in 2020 and there were no fans in the stands. Mayor Q decided to make a big announcement about his future on opening day to hide the sad news there's nothing he can run for and win right now. Boo hoo. KC's population is growing while St. Louis is shrinking. Eric Trump releases animation and video of a spectacular Donald J. Trump Presidential Library. KC's own singing star Chappelle Roan is banned from performing by a mayor of a major city. A rich, spoiled radio host calls it quits at age 37 and a famous rocker may not have a voice anymore.
