• The tragic career of Mike JonesWhat could have been? The story of Mike Jones remains, behind Steve Busby and Yordano Ventura, one of the greatest “what ifs” in Royals history.

Harold Baines was the number one pick, followed by Bill Gullickson and Paul Molitor. Other first-round...2024Check it out Yordano Ventura injuries -

• 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 ...2023Read about Don Baylor availability report

• Who’s the fastest Royal of all time?Photo by David Cooper/Toronto Star via Getty Images That’s what speed do! Over the years, there is a perception that the Royals are a franchise infatuated by speed. Don’t get me wrong, speed is something you can’t teach, and I enjoy a stolen base, a triple or a terrific outfield play as much as the next guy. And speed most often facilitates those plays. But if a hitter can’t get on base, t...2023See more articles Randy Johnson -
