With his playing days in the rear-view mirror, Jeremy Guthrie has had many speaking engagements.
Guthrie, the former Royals pitcher, usually brings two props with him: the rings he received for being on the 2014 American League championship squad and the 2015 World Series title team.
“I get a chance to speak to a number of youth and kids from our church groups, and inevitably, they ask about the ring, so I usually just bring it and if someone asks, I bring it out for them,” Guthrie said.
“I show them first what you get for being a second-place winner, and they’re pretty in awe of that, and then I can show them for being in first place.
