| Don Free |
Don Free has worked up in the home radio booth as the network’s producer and engineer since 1986. He’s the man responsible for checking circuits, testing microphones, making sure the pregame and radio show always run smoothly.
“It’s been my office for 81 games a year,” he told 41 Action News with a chuckle. “ And the road has been my other office.”
Now after 32 seasons with the Royals and a World Series ring, Free is saying goodbye— completing a 50-year career in broadcasting.
“When I started out, I had a little case with a mixer in it and some headsets. And that was it. And microphones. Now I carry three cases on the road plus a backpack and a briefcase with all the stuff in it,” Free said.
Once he retires, Free plans on spending more time with his family and helping with radio production for Kansas State football games.
“It’s just been a great ride. And we are all part of the family. That’s what’s cool about it,” he said.
