The Year of TEAM As We Close out 2017 and Look Ahead to 2018, We Want to Thank You for Your Support of “C” You in the Major Leagues “Building tomorrow’s leaders through America’s pastime.” 2017 Year In Review — The Year of TEAM As we close out 2017 and look ahead to 2018, we want to thank you for your support of “C” You In The Major Leagues. Whether you’ve donated your money or your time, you’ve been vital to changing lives in Kansas City in 2017. You’ve undoubtedly heard the acronym TEAM: Together Everyone Achieves More. Usually TEAM is preached by countless coaches across the country, but away from sports, perhaps nowhere is that acronym more evident and true than in the nonprofit world. Lives cannot change without all of us working together. One of the most exciting things in 2017 came in September when we made a grant that put us over the $500,000 mark. It’s incredibly humbling to think that we — all of us — have been able to grant more than $500,000 to 45 organizations since CYITML started in 2014. Later in this program you’ll be able to see a list of those organizations and causes but of those 45, 32 have directly helped folks in our community. Our hope is that by January 2020, with your help, we will pass $1 million in grants. What an incredible impact that will have in Kansas City! At the same time, however, during the past couple years, as we’ve researched the needs of people in underserved areas of Kansas City, we’ve honed our focus even more. Besides making grants, we’re doing what we can with our own programming to reach people at a younger age to give hope, encouragement, and character-building leadership messages. Studies show that when we reach students in high school and younger, we can help curb violence and criminal activity, school dropouts, runaways, and teen pregnancies. Together, we can change generations. This past year, with the support of the Darol Rodrock Foundation, we continued our “C” You At The “K” program, which brings more than 75 high school students from underserved areas to Kauffman Stadium during the season for a one-of-a- kind experience. Additionally, we granted a “C” You In The Major Leagues Scholarship for a student to attend college for free, and we partnered with Blue KC to develop a “Coaches with Character” program, which recognized amateur coaches who are making an incredible difference in the lives of students. In 2018 we plan to launch a new leadership and mentoring initiative, which you can read more about in this program. None of this is possible without you. Families that have lost nearly all of their possessions would not be able to rebuild their lives without you. More than 75 high school students would not be getting messages of character-based leadership and hope without you. Emmanuel would not be in college without you. Together Everyone Achieves More. Dayton and Marianne Moore, the founders of “C” You In The Major Leagues. Thank you! For a second year, we were able to bring more than 75 high school students Thank you to Darol Rodrock and from underserved areas of Kansas City to Kauffman Stadium during the the Darol Rodrock Foundation for season for “C” You At The “K.” On this unique night, students watch batting once again partnering with the practice or tour the Hall of Fame, receive a character-building and leadership Royals to underwrite this event in discussion from Dayton Moore and others, have a nice dinner, and then 2017!

  • The Cubs Win the World Series!
    Can’t-miss listening is Pat Hughes’ ‘The Cubs Win the World Series!’ CD By George Castle, CBM Historian Posted Monday, January 2, 2017 What better way for Pat Hughes to honor his own achievement by reminding listeners on his new CD he’s the first Cubs broadcaster to say the memorable words, “The Cubs win the World Series.” Hughes’ broadcast on 670-The Score was the only Chi- cago version, radio or TV, of the hyper-historic early hours of Nov. 3, 2016 in Cleveland. Radio was still in the Marconi experimental stage in 1908, the last time the Cubs won the World Series. Baseball was not broadcast on radio until 1921. The five World Series the Cubs played in the radio era – 1929, 1932, 1935, 1938 and 1945 – would not have had classic announc- ers like Bob Elson claiming a Cubs victory. Given the unbroken drumbeat of championship fail- ure, there never has been a season tribute record or CD for Cubs radio calls. The “Great Moments in Cubs Pat Hughes was a one-man gang in History” record was produced in the off-season of producing and starring in “The Cubs 1970-71 by Jack Brickhouse and sidekick Jack Rosen- Win the World Series!” CD. berg. But without a World Series title, the commemo- ration featured highlights of the near-miss 1969-70 seasons, tapped the WGN archives for older calls and backtracked to re-creations of plays as far back as the 1930s.

Now, it’s time for his legions of ardent supporters to be just as decisive in voting him into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Starting tomorrow, fans of the legendary A’s announcer can cast their online ballot for a man who is generally regarded as the greatest broadcaster in Bay Area history when the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum’s Facebook site is activated for 2012 Ford C.

Following his death, the A’s permanently named their Coliseum broadcast facilities the “Bill King Broadcast Booth” after the team’s revered former voice. Online voting for fan selections for the award will begin at 7 a.m. PDT tomorrow, Sept. 1, at the Hall of Fame’s Facebook site, www.facebook.com/baseballhall, and conclude at 2 p.m. PDT Sept. 30.
