[Bowser]

Probably Tony Gwynn or Junior in his Seattle days.

AJ Pierzynski is one of those guys that you would love if he was on your team but otherwise hate the shit out of.

[Brianfo]

Ken griffey Jr.
He could of been best ever if he didn't play in steroid era!

[CoMoChief]

Mark McGwire

Loved watching him in BP before games.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

I duno if this counts...I consider myself a Royals fan. As a kid before I moved to KC, I lived in Minneapolis. I loved Kirby.

Joaquin Andujar
John Tudor
Jack Clark
Todd Worrell

[teedubya]

I also loved Eric Davis. I have an old Reds hat because of him.

My favorite NON-Royal from back in the day is Don Mattingly... even though he played for the Yankees, I liked him. In fact, only Yankee great to NOT win a WS ring.

[Mojo Jojo]

Carlton Fisk

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Greg Gagne

Then back when the owner still cared by the grace of Ewing Kauffman, he did play on my team

I remember he got a pitch thrown at him and he walked to the opposing dugout talking shit
.next pitch he bombs one to left center

Stares the dugout down the entire time he's circling the bases

Talk about a throwback. ..

The most bizarre thing. Team had Mattingly, Willie Randolph, Winfield, Henderson, and Righetti as a closer. Yet Mattingly never once made the playoffs until the end of his career.

[Demonpenz]

Dale Murphy

[New World Order]

Any player who juiced and hit a lot of homeruns.

Baseball was better back then.

[BillSelfsTrophycase]

Back on track, I did like Frank Thomas

You could throw him the nastiest pitch ever

But if it wasn't in the zone, he wouldn't bite

[siberian khatru]

Nolan Ryan

Named my first born after him and Brett

[Three7s]

Pitchers-

Pedro Martinez
Randy Johnson
Mark Mulder (pre-cardinals)
Greg Maddox
Roy Halladay (this dude had complete ownership of the Royals, and I'm talking early 2000s/late 1990s when the Royals had Dye, Beltran, Damon, aka: one of the better offenses in baseball, he was amazing)

Hitters-

Ken Griffey Jr
Garret Anderson
Roberto Alomar
Jim Thome
Bernie Williams

[ChiefsCountry]

Pujols during his Cardinals days was always worth watching.

[gblowfish]

When I was growing up, and the Royals were just starting up, my favorite baseball player was Julian Javier of the St. Louis Cardinals. He played 2B, so did I. My dad's favorite was Al Kaline of the Detroit Tigers. George Brett was his second favorite.

[Pasta Little Brioni]

Fan of teams not individuals. Not on the Cards...Fuck em.
