Building a Resume: Professional Scout Hall of Famer Mike Arbuckle Talks About What it Takes to Succeed in Baseball

Show-Me Sports Legacies

A Panel Discussion on a Road Trip to the Quad Cities River Bandits and KC Royals players at the All-Star game followed by an in depth interview with Mike Arbuckle, Professional Scout Hall of Famer, with 46 years in major league scouting and player development with the Atlanta Braves, Philadelphia Phillies and the Kansas City Royals. He was a key part of helping the Phillies and Royals achieve world championships during his time with those organizations. A native of Trenton Missouri, we caught up with Mike at a high school baseball clinic sponsored by the Royals Amateur Development Program and hosted by North Central Missouri College. We close with a review of the interview and discussion of the HOF credentials of Salvador Perez.

Show-Me Sports Legacies takes a story approach to learning about high school, junior college, D2 & D1 college sports and our beloved professional franchises in Kansas City and St. Louis. We talk to people who have made their mark as coaches, players, scouts and business people after coming from small towns or little known communities or neighborhoods. We talk to people who are seeking to establish their reputation and break into sports career success. With a fan's perspective we look at how to encourage and support people who have that sporting dream.
