About Patrick Glancy
About the Author
Willie Wilson walked off the Yankees in the bottom of the 13th with an inside-the-park home run on the day I was born. Strangely enough, I suspect my mom took very little comfort in this fact during her labor pains. Six years later, I went to my first Royals game and then watched them win the World Series, cementing me as a baseball fan for the rest of my life, for better or worse.
I grew up in Atchison, Kansas (home of Amelia Earhart), about an hour north of Kansas City right on the Missouri River. By the time I was eighteen, I couldn’t wait to get out. I bounced around the country, making stops in Los Angeles and Chicago, before eventually finding my way back to KC.
