My motto: Any time spent with Vahe Gregorian is time well spent. You'll enjoy this hour with the sports columnist for The Kansas City Star as he shares highlights from his 35-year career. He puts us courtside in historic Allen Fieldhouse for the rivalry between Kansas and Missouri. He takes us to the Dominican Republic for the funeral of Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura. Go with Vahe to the home of Chicago Bears Hall of Fame running back Gale Sayers, who was battling dementia before his death. Head to Australia where Vahe went behind the scenes of an agonizing Olympic loss. Spend time with Tom Watson and George Brett, icons of Kansas City. Hear how that city was galvanized in the past decade by the Royals and Chiefs winning championships. And we give a special nod to Vahe's late father, Vartan Gregorian.   Vahe Gregorian will be one of five journalists enshrined in the U.S. Basketball Writers Association Hall of Fame this weekend at the Final Four in New Orleans. In 2017-18, he was president of the USBWA, which described him as “the ultimate teammate among his colleagues and a role model among his peers.” Gregorian has been sports columnist for The Kansas City Star since 2013 after spending 25 years covering a variety of sports for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He has covered 10 Olympics, three World Series, a Super Bowl, 22 Final Fours and multiple college football bowl games since the late 1980s.   In 2017, the Associated Press Sports Editors named Vahe the national winner for column writing for large market newspapers. He earned another top 10 columnist award from the APSE in 2016, and his work was also recognized as part of a reporting team that was named one of the top 10 projects for that year. He was a Pulitzer Prize nominee in 2000, won several Football Writers Association of America awards, and has been named Missouri Sports Writer of the Year multiple times. His work has been published in “The Best American Sports Writing.” He has published two books: one about former Northwestern football coach Gary Barnett, and the other about former Michigan State football coach George Perles.   Gregorian was born in Beirut, Lebanon and raised in Swarthmore, Pennsylvania. He played varsity football at the University of Pennsylvania, where he graduated in 1983 with a degree in English. He earned his master's degree in journalism at Missouri in ‘88. In 2004, he was chosen as a Knight-Wallace Fellow at the University of Michigan, where he focused on history and the demise of sportsmanship.   Follow Vahe Gregorian on Twitter: @vgregorian Learn more about your ad choices.

The Drive replayed the 7th inning of game 6 in the 2014 World Series to honor Ventura on the day that would have been his 30th birthday. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Who’s going to be the Royals pitcher to stretch out a start? The rotation has produced fewer innings and a higher ERA than relievers for the Royals through eight games. The two starts of Brad Keller, who got the call on Opening Day, have been discouraging. In only two games, a Royals starter has pitched into the sixth inning. But enough has gone right for the Royals to split their first eight games and they continue one of their longest homestands of the season this week. Beat writer Lynn Worthy and columnists Sam Mellinger and Vahe Gregorian join host Blair Kerkhoff in bringing you the latest on the Royals.

A somber #TheShowKC today, after the news broke on Sunday that Royals pitcher Yordano Ventura had been involved in a fatal car crash in the Dominican Republic. After thoughts from the crew, Royals VP/Public Relations Toby Cook called in to share his thoughts on the young ace, the plans for this weekend's Fan Fest, and the ongoing tributes to this rising star. Then, Jill Meyer called us to tell us about her daughter Amelia. The day before her 9th birthday, Amelia had a photo shoot with Yordano as part of a charity calendar. Just a couple of years before, Amelia had been diagnosed with brain cancer. Her meeting with the "Ace" was a happy one and the two bonded. Amelia passed away in October last year and Yordano this weekend. A baseball signed by the pitcher is just part of the tangible memories her mom Jill has. And now, you can actually see the results of that day as Amelia and Yordano's picture is the January pic of the Braden's Hope calendar. Find out more at BradensHope.org.
