Kevin McReynolds is and will always be my least favorite Royal. The guy had a moment of averageness as a corner outfielder in the NL, came to KC in one of the worst trades in the history of the Royals organization (giving up Sabe), then proceeded to not give a flip about baseball for his 2 years here. I was sitting in Left field corner in a game where he went up for a ball against the wall... he jumped up and intentionally avoided hitting the wall, giving a half-hearted effort. jogged over to the ball and casually tossed it back into the infield while the player motored around to third for a triple. The thing that irked me and the entire stadium more than anything was that after having tossed it back in, he bent over and was fixing his socks before the ball had even made it to the cut-off man. Didn't watch the play, he flat out didn't give a shit. The entire left field stands boo'ed him the rest of the game every time he jogged around after base hits and fly balls... One of the biggest POS's I can ever remember having watched play a professional sport. If I remember correctly, the opposing pitcher was even cheered when he struck McReynolds out. That could be my own revisionist history though...
