What a team! While we’re marinating in this lost Royals season, (seriously, what else can we write about this team?) I had the idea: who had the best season for the Royals, by position?
A failed comeback, and foolish brawl 1925 Southpaw Dickey Kerr, a two-game winner as a rookie in the 1919 World Series for the White Sox but inactive since 1921, is reinstated from the voluntarily-retired list in an attempted comeback at age 32.
Let me tell you something, pilgrim. First, I have a confession to make. During his playing days, I was not a fan of John Wathan. I viewed him as an excellent utility player, not as an integral, everyday piece of a pennant-winning team.
More brawling with the Royals? But of course 1977 In the first game of a key series with Kansas City, White Sox pitcher Bart Johnson and Royals catcher Darrell Porter got into a shoving match along the first-base line in the third inning, after Porter slammed into Johnson’s back while he was covering first base.
