During his visit with fifth-graders at Crossroads Academy in Kansas City, Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. shared that his mom is a significant source of inspiration for him.

The Royals beat the Chicago White Sox 10-0 on Thursday afternoon, with Witt going 4-for-5 with two doubles and two RBIs.

During his 40 years as a sports agent, Scott Pucino had the opportunity to represent two generations of the Witt family. Pucino, who died Sunday at his home in Green Oaks, Illinois, represented former Major League Baseball pitcher Bobby Witt and his son, who is the starting shortstop for the Royals.
