Frank White's Coming To Chappell's

In case you haven't heard yet, I just wanted to give you a heads up that we have a special "Behind the Stats" planned for you this week, Aug. 30. Royals Hall of Fame second baseman (and someone who should be in the National Baseball Hall of Fame) Frank White will be joining Dave and I for a fun and candid night.

Although each guest each week is "special" in some way, we're adding a little something extra this week. Frank will be at Chappell's a little longer as he signs copies of his book, "Good As Gold: Techniques for Fundamental Baseball." We'll be selling books at Chappell's for $20. Most of the time with "Behind the Stats" you're more than welcome to bring whatever you want to bring to have signed. In a way, you can do that this week, but there's a catch. As with a "traditional" book signing, Frank will sign one piece of memorabilia for each book that you buy to have signed. I apologize for any inconvenience. The shindig will begin at 5 p.m. and last until the end of the show, 7 p.m.

Since Frank's book is an instructional book on how to play better fundamental baseball, we'll ask Frank a few questions during the show about some different baseball plays and techniques. If there's a question you want us to ask Frank about playing the game of baseball, please feel free to send an email to mattfulks@hotmail.com before Thursday morning and we'll do our best to ask Frank about it during the show.

As a bonus, if we ask your question on the air, you'll receive a pass for two to the upcoming 23rd Annual "Pork Out" at the Airline History Museum. The charity event, which is scheduled for Saturday night, Sept. 8, will feature a Celebrity Texas Hold'em Tournament hosted by former Chiefs player Danan Hughes.

You know, it just hit me that this blog is nothing more than a big advertisement. For everything. I guess that's a good thing about blogs.

Maybe next time I'll have something better to write.

Thanks and we look forward to seeing you Thursday night at Chappell's in North Kansas City.

Matt
