Kickin' It With Kiz

Miscellaneous


With COVID-19 ravaging the health of American citizens and the U.S. economy, Rockies first baseman Daniel Murphy and St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Adam Wainwright have pledged a combined $350,000 to assist financially struggling ballplayers. In this edition of the Kickin' It pod, Mark Kiszla talks to Jeremy Wolf, the executive director of More Than Baseball, about the very real challenges faced by poorly compensated minor-leaguers who often live below the poverty line. Plus in "The Just One More Thing" segment, a fan gives Kiz grief for trying to stir up trouble between running back Phillip Lindsay and the Broncos.
