KC sports icons George Brett, Tom Watson have advice for Jac Caglianone: podcast
The greatest Royal of ‘em all, George Brett, can’t wait to watch Jac Caglianone’s major-league debut on Tuesday. Neither can golf icon and Royals fan Tom Watson.
At an annual fundraising event for The ALS Association in Overland Park Monday, half of Kansas City’s sports Mount Rushmore weighed in on the Royals’ decision to elevate their top prospect to Major League Baseball.
Caglianone will make his MLB debut Tuesday in St. Louis.
What can Caglianone expect in the bigs? Brett and Watson agree, and their answer may surprise you: Caglianone’s best approach, they say, will be to do less: “Try to do less when the pressure is on,” Brett said. “He’s got to breathe.”
Brett and Watson join Star sports columnist Vahe Gregorian and podcast host Blair Kerkhoff in this special installment of the SportsBeat KC show, presented by Underdog.
