The All-Star Game Hits Kansas City

The MLB All-Star Game is in Kauffman Stadium

The throngs gather at Kauffman Stadium for the biggest summer sporting event, but for many, it's more than just a game. On Up to Date, we look at how the game and the Royals have changed since 1973.  Hear "A Fan's Notes" with Victor Wishna. Then join the conversation as host Steve Kraske and KCUR sports reporter Greg Echlin draw a comparison between 1973 prospects—like George Brett and Frank White--and young Royals playing today.

Plus, what's on the menu at Kauffman stadium, and what does it take to pull off an event as big as the All-Star game? Find out when we talk with Erin Wishon, Toby Cook, and other guests who help to make the All-Star game an All-Star experience for the thousands of fans coming to Kauffman Stadium.

When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers. Reach me at steve@kcur.org or on Twitter @stevekraske.
As senior producer of Up To Date, I want our listeners to hear familiar and new voices that shine light on the issues and challenges facing the myriad communities KCUR serves, and to expose our audiences to the wonderful and the creative in the Kansas City area. Just as important to me is an obligation to mentor the next generation of producers to ensure that the important conversations continue. Reach me at alexanderdk@kcur.org.
