Description

  • We’re throwing it back to our conversation with Alex Gordon, one of the greatest players in Kansas City Royals history and a future Royals Hall of Famer. Known for his grit, gold gloves, and iconic leadership during the 2015 World Series Championship run, Alex shares the story behind his legendary career.

    From being labeled the “next George Brett” to struggling early on at third base, Alex’s path was anything but smooth. But a key move to left field changed everything — sparking a career defined by elite defense, hard work, and unshakable determination.

    In this episode, Alex opens up about:

    • His transformation from top prospect to team leader

    • His pride in being a Nebraska Cornhusker and College Baseball Hall of Famer

    • How he and his family are now giving back to the Kansas City community

    If you're a fan of baseball, underdog stories, or hometown heroes — this one’s for you.
