Kernels Broadcaster Dives Deep Into the Cedar Rapids Community

John Rodgers makes a living broadcasting baseball games for the Cedar Rapids (IA) Kernels, a Class A farm team of the Los Angeles Angels. Plenty of people benefit from his time away from the mike too.

Rodgers has spearheaded the team's community reading program for the last nine years and also gets the players to perform entertaining skits for the participants. He's also made a more direct connection with a young man named Logan as part of the city's Big Brother Big Sister program.

Rodgers doesn't just talk, he walks the walk and stands tall.
