Rusty Kuntz is getting his own bobblehead and Royals theme night
It’s happening!
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.

The name also became the scourge of talk radio in Kansas City, and the target of prank callers everywhere.
Either way, Rusty Kuntz is being honored — and that is a beautiful thing.
