Limbaugh originally worked for the Kansas CIty Royals in the 80's. There he befriended the great George Brett. I get the impression, and this is just me talking, I get the feeling that Brett was a bit condescending to Limbaugh. I think that he was amazed, and impressed with the level to which Rush Limbaugh ascended. I mean Brett is an icon, but in his field, Limbaugh is infinitely much more of an icon. George Brett, I believe, was amazed, surprised, and, maybe a touch in awe of this development. I get all this from the few times Limbaugh has had Brett on his show.

Interesting. I thought someone said Limbaugh began his radio career in Sacramento CA. Do you know where he was originally from?

I get the feeling that Brett was a bit condescending to Limbaugh.

Perhaps it emanated from Limbaugh's faux pas of forgetting to take a baseball along when he escorted a fan to the pitcher's mound to throw out a promotional first pitch one year?

Limbaugh said he had to ask the dugout to throw out a ball, and they complied - in spades - throwing everything out of the dugout, iirc.

Limbaugh played the clip on his syndicated TV show way back.

Brett was the man back in the day in KC. However, Brett had a good friendship with Limbaugh and there is a reason that he has always invited him to his bday parties and had him at his induction to the HoF.
