When Are You Gonna Do Something? with Bob Lutz
<p>Ask any athlete or Wichita Eagle reader from the last several decades, and they'll know Bob Lutz well. After making a name for himself as a sports journalist, Bob became a sports columnist for The Eagle in the 1990's and wrote columns over some of the top sports stories from around the world, but particularly those in our own backyard. Following his storied journalism career, Bob now dedicates most of his time to what he calls his "second act," a program called League 42 that is dedicated to bringing the game of baseball to inner city kids. From the initial meeting including Bob and 4 other people, the league has grown to now serving 600 kids. The motivation behind League 42, how you can get involved, and the question everyone wants answered -- how does Bob Lutz deal with haters -- all on this episode of Pretty Pitches. </p> <p>Follow League 42 on Twitter @League_42, Instagram @league42ict and Facebook @League 42. </p> <p>You can find out more information at: https://league42.org/ </p>

As a Woman of Color You Have to Be Twice As Everything with Sarah Lopez-Lewis
<p>We are changing it up a bit this week, and talking women in politics, but we are also talking women's sports, as this week's guest is Sedgwick County Commissioner Sarah Lopez-Lewis. After a successful career in healthcare, Sarah was inspired to run for the Sedgwick County Board of Commissioners after fighting for a safe space for her daughter in local schools. She's a fierce advocate for her kids, all kids, women and people of color, particularly those in the Hispanic community. She's also no stranger to sports, as she played soccer growing up and now cheers on her daughters, one on the soccer field, the other in the pool, and her son on the football field. How she was inspired to run for local government, her take on leading the way for the next generation and more all on this week's episode. </p>
