Rick Huisman pitched for the Royals from 1995-1996 after being traded by the Houston Astros to KC in exchange for Pat Borders. Huisman was a hard thrower known as a strikeout pitcher, as evidenced by his 9.5 K/9 in the minor leagues and 8.1 K/9 in MLB. Rick recently spoke with Dave O about making his debut in the same inning as Mike Sweeney (as battery mates), helping to set Sweeney up with his wife Shara and the lasting impression that his time in Kansas City had on his life, most notably on how it opened up his eyes to a career in the nonprofit sector of helping the youth.
