Did you know that the first organist for the Kansas City Royals started with The Kansas City "A's" and then The Kansas City "Monarchs" and finally The Kansas City Royals. His name was Harry Jenks - great uncle of local Kansas City producer Adam Blue.
A night at the ballpark with the crew of “Royals Live”
You are Joel Goldberg.
Seventeen years ago, you were just a kid cheering your hometown Philadelphia Phillies to victory in the 1980 World Series. That was about the time when you discovered the pleasures of turning down the volume on the TV set and calling the game yourself in the voice of Harry Kalas, the Phillies’ legendary play-by-play announcer.
Fast forward to 2007. You are now in the same business as Harry Kalas, covering major league baseball for a living.
Joel Goldberg (right) formed a quick partnership with Jamie Quirk, his new sidekick this season on the “Royals Live” pre-game and post-game shows. “He knows the game so well,” Goldberg says.
You’re not a play-by-play man like Kalas (mostly you do interviews and report on- and off-the-field activities of the St. Louis Cardinals), and the Cardinals aren’t the Phillies (but they are the defending world champions).
