Royals players in the great years...

[Dr. Johnny Fever]

Random Royal memories...

I was at a game once and saw Al Cowens hit a grand slam into the visiting bullpen in the first inning before there were any outs. That was ****in sweet. IIRC the Royals beat the Blue Jays 14-2 that day.

I always loved how when Hal McRae drew a walk........ he actually walked... all the way to first base.

I always thought Amos Otis might hit the ball farther if he didn't let go of the damn bat with one hand on his backswing every damn time.

I thought the way Darrell Porter lifted his right leg as he "swung" the bat in the batters box on his setup was cool for some reason.

Frank White was born with the nickname "Smooth" or he should have been.

Daryl Motely looked like a little body builder in his uniform.

Rich Gale started like the first 4 Royals games I ever went to.

The Royals lost like the first 9 games I ever went to. The first was a 1-0 sleeper against the Indians and I sat on the top row of the upper deck on the first base side. I cried most of the way back to the car. Hey I was a kid and my dream of getting to go to a Royals game someday had come true but then pooped on by lowly Cleveland.

I once yelled at Neifi Perez "hey Neifi just give back the 2 million on your way out and we'll call it even" after he popped out with the bases loaded. I was sitting close enough that game that I could have been heard. I hope so.

My brothers and I after drinking a few once taunted Jacques Jones by yelling "Jones is a girls name" every inning or so... and "Matt Stairs would have caught that" after a ball got away from him... Stairs had actually made a diving catch in the first.
