I really wish I could have listened to it. I am heart sick about this. Frank was my idol of the Royals and childhood hero. I wanted to play the game like Frank White. I wanted to be #20. He played the game the way it was meant to be played and should be in the HoF as one of the greatest 2nd basemen to ever step on a professional baseball field. This team and this city was lucky to have such a class player like Frank. You should have seen him in spring training. Always made time to sign autographs, especially for the kids. Always made time to talk with the fans. I was 36 years old when I met him down there and got his autograph and when I told him he was my childhood hero he looked me in the eye and said "thanks, that really makes me happy to hear that" with a very genuine tone. The guy was total class. **** George Brett and his shitty pants.
