Best-selling author and former Kansas City Star columnist Joe Posnanski covered the bases talking Royals and baseball in general with beat writer Lynn Worthy and columnists Vahe Gregorian and Sam McDowell. The conversation includes the Dayton Moore firing, Buck O’Neil entering the Hall of Fame, baseball’s rules changes for next year and more.

It’s the final days of MLB’s 2022 regular season, and the Royals have played well enough in the past couple of weeks to avoid losing 100 games this year. But how does their future look?

And this is a highlight of our chat with Posnanski, too: He remembers the time The Star picked its All-Metro baseball squads and placed Fort Osage slugger Albert Pujols on the second team.
