Les Norman Biography

Les Norman is a former Major League Baseball outfielder who advanced from a challenging childhood to a professional baseball career. Norman achieved recognition as a Junior Olympic gold medalist, collegiate All-American, U.S. Olympic Team member, and Royals Minor League Player of the Year before reaching Major League Baseball. After graduating high school, he earned a gold medal with the Junior Olympic North Team and received a scholarship to play football and baseball at the University of St. Francis, where he became a two-time NAIA All-American. Originally drafted by the Boston Red Sox, Norman declined to sign and was later selected by the Kansas City Royals.

Norman was selected by the Kansas City Royals in the 25th round of the MLB Draft and made his major league debut, playing two seasons with the club. He appeared in 24 games during his first season and 54 games in his second. He earned the Les Milgram Royals Minor League Player of the Year Award, establishing his standing as a notable prospect within the organization. Norman's journey to the majors was influenced by overcoming personal challenges, including a difficult upbringing, and he used baseball as an outlet and source of community.

After retiring from professional baseball, Norman transitioned to sports broadcasting, serving as a Royals color analyst for Metro Sports' "James B. Nutter Post-Game Show" and Sports Radio 810WHB's "Baseball Tonight Pregame Show." He further developed his media career by hosting "Breakin' the Norm" and the "Baseball Tonight Pregame Show" on Sports Radio 810WHB, where he covered sports stories and conducted interviews with figures from the sports and entertainment industries.

In addition to broadcasting, Norman is a national keynote speaker specializing in servant leadership, personal branding, and motivation. He is a certified life coach with expertise in business, work-life balance, stress management, and healthy living. Norman is also the author of "Teaching the Tools of Hitting." He remains involved with the Kansas City Royals organization as a member of the Royals Alumni Association Board of Directors. As an entrepreneur and radio personality, Norman shares insights on leadership, motivation, and personal development, drawing from his experiences as both an athlete and a team leader.
