College honors Grigsby , Wills Bill Grigsby, the ' voice of the Kansas City Chiefs, was honored as the 1984 Outstanding Alumnus during Homecoming festivities. Grigsby, a 1947 graduate of Jop¬ lin Junior College, served as the grand marshall of the Homecom¬ ing parade. He was also introduced at the alumni brunch and at the football game against Kearney State. It ' s really quite an honor, he said. I ' m sure there are a lot of people more deserving than I am. But not knowing what the future would be after I graduated, and then to have everything later fall in¬ to place, I feel very fortunate. Grigsby started his career as a sportscaster at WMBH radio over 30 years ago broadcasting games of the Joplin Miners, a farm team of the Hew York Yankees. He has been analyzing Kansas City Chiefs foot¬ ball games for the last 19 years.
