KC CURRENTS 4-10-2007

By Ty Chandler, Alex Smith and Sylvia Maria Gross

Kansas City, MO – International media swarm Kauffman Stadium for the Royals-Red Sox season opener; they came to watch the pitching debut of Japanese superstar Daisuke Matsuzaka. We follow a couple as they visit the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum. Kansas City police say neighborhoods are quieter since they arrested six suspected gang members, including Shauntay Henderson, who was briefly on the FBI's 10 most wanted list. Plus, an update on Missouri's proposed Medicaid overhaul, and jazz vocalist Kevin Mahogany.

Congress just eliminated federal funding for KCUR, but public radio is for the people.
