In this hour of The Starting Lineup, we bring you a heavy-hitting local sports double header! We are first joined by the legendary longtime former Missouri State Bears baseball coach Keith Guttin. We look back at his iconic 2003 trip to Omaha, break down tonight's national championship decider between Oklahoma and North Carolina, and explore the wild financial landscape of modern college baseball where premium talent commands upwards of half a million dollars.

Then, Springfield native and former Kickapoo High School standout Trevon Brazile calls in live from town ahead of his NBA Draft watch party. We dive into his unique journey through the SEC, playing under John Calipari at Arkansas, his recovery from a major ACL injury, and his dream fit with the Chicago Bulls. Plus, Ned Reynolds, Art Haines, and Guy Newcomb talk global soccer fever at Arrowhead Stadium, the legendary anniversary of Joe Louis vs. Max Schmeling, and evaluate whether the St. Louis Cardinals' high-flying offense can mask their underlying starting pitching concerns.
