  • 2025
    "That draft is somewhat infamous in certain circles because the Royals were expected to have the first overall pick in the draft for most of the 2006 season until a three-game sweep over the Detroit Tigers in the final series of the season caused the Royals to leapfrog the then Tampa Bay Devil Rays and become only the 29th-worst team in baseball that season with a record of 62-100 to the Devil Rays’ 61-101."
