A BASEBALL LIFE: Royal Run.

The article focuses on Denny Matthews, a Kansas City broadcaster who has been the voice of the Royals for 57 years, making him one of the longest-tenured broadcasters in Major League Baseball history. At just 25 years old, Matthews secured the position through a creative application that included a humorous note and a self-recorded game tape. Over his career, he has called significant moments in Royals history, including their World Series victories in 1985 and 2015, and has been recognized with the Baseball Hall of Fame's Ford C. Frick Award for his contributions to baseball broadcasting. As he approaches his 83rd birthday, Matthews reflects on his long career and the relationships he has built within the sport.
