A ROYALS REUNION: LORAINE'S JEFF BLUM HAS KEY ROLE IN KEEPING THE ROYAL BATS AND ARMS HEALTHY AND PRODUCTIVE

As the Kansas City Royals prepare to host the Major League All Star Game in July, we took a little inventory and found it astounding that there are five Tri State products in the organization's employ, including a key member of the medical staff.

Lorraine native and Unity High grad Jeff Blum has been with organization as its physical therapist and rehab/coordinator for five years; a unique vocational twist for a gentleman who jump started his career studying to be a nurses aid through John Wood...and later finding his niche after graduating from Illinois College.
