In this episode of There’s Just Something About Kansas City, we sit down with Buddy Biancalana, former Kansas City Royals shortstop and unsung 1985 World Series hero. At just five years old, Buddy told his mom he’d make it to the Major Leagues—and he did. Drafted in the first round, he played a pivotal role in the Royals’ unforgettable 1985 World Series run.

But Buddy’s journey to baseball glory wasn’t without hardship. After suffering childhood head trauma, long before concussions were properly understood, he pushed through physical and emotional setbacks during his five-year MLB career. Today, Buddy is the founder of Zone Motion, a company helping athletes and business leaders tap into elite mental performance by overcoming fear and self-doubt.

Whether you're a Royals fan, a baseball history buff, or someone interested in mindset and peak performance, this episode dives into resilience, purpose, and the power of belief.
