Lineups: KC Live Mascots

It’s not always Royals games and schools appearances for mascot Sluggerrr. This morning, Sluggerrr joined six other area mascots at the KSHB-TV studios to help “KC Live” celebrate their two-year anniversary. The furry crew included the mascots from the Chiefs, Wizards, T-Bones, UMKC and KU. Although it wasn’t a contest, there was really no doubting that Sluggerrr stole the show. Here are some photos we snapped from the mascot morning get-together!
