## Resource

Kansas City moves forward with a new Royals ballpark, redirecting $382 million in tax revenue to pay off city bonds — despite one commissioner’s objections over incomplete data. Meanwhile, Salvador Perez battles an elbow injury, eyeing a part-time catching role next season as he nears his 15th year and weighs his future. The Royals are also evolving their pitching strategy, experimenting with grips and pitch mix to boost effectiveness. The Quad City River Bandits advance to the Midwest League Championship Series, while a deep dive into Prairie View A&M’s 1971 protests reveals a campus shutdown and mass re-admissions denial — including future icon Mr. T — echoing broader HBCU activism of the era.
