• Cedric Tallis belongs in the Royals Hall of Fame

Time to right a wrong Last year I made a vow to write an annual story about why the Royals’ first General Manager, Cedric Tallis, should be in the Royals Hall of Fame. Like it or not, it’s that time of year. Many of us have speculated as to why Tallis has been snubbed. His credentials are far too impressive for just a plain oversight, so there must be another underlying reason. The most common the...2024

• The best Royals seasons by age

Get that young man a Hamm’s Baseball is hard. Hitting a 95 MPH pitch is tough business. Throwing one might be even harder than hitting one. When looking at the Royals best seasons by age, I was a little surprised how bereft they were at the young ages. The Royals have had very few players, let alone stars, at young ages. Those guys are like unicorns. Dwight Gooden was worth 5.5 WAR at the age of ...2024

• The best Royals seasons, by position
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? What would that team look like? Truth is, they look pretty darned good. There were a few surprises and some tough battles, especially in the outfield. Starting with the infield, here’s what it looks like. Catcher ...2023
