On this episode of the Life of Fitz podcast, host Tim Fitzgerald calls his friend, Sam Mellinger, one of the sports columnists for the Kansas City Star, who has carried on the Star’s rich history of talented sports columnists. Sam graduated from the University of Kansas in 2000, and went to work at the Star and began climbing the career ladder. Sam has been a sports columnist at the Star since 2010, covering both a World Series championship for the Royals and a Super Bowl title for the Chiefs, but in a span of a few months back into 2010, the Star went from having nationally-known columnists Joe Posnanski and Jason Whitlock to just Mellinger. They soon after added Vahe Gregorian, once again giving them a dynamic one-two punch as columnists.
