• Let’s get three

Photo by Chris Coduto/Getty Images Royals turning the triple I’ve always been fascinated with arcane occurrences that regularly pop up in major league baseball. Halter top day remains at the top of the list. Hitting for the cycle has always been a favorite of mine. Sluggger hitting an unwitting fan with a hot dog? That works. No-hitters are always fun, though I’m not sure we’ll ever see an...2025

• When will we see another Royals player hit for the cycle?

SetNumber: X32250 TK6 The Royals have the longest drought in baseball. With the season still early, and the offense sputtering like an old car, I’ve been looking at more arcane offensive outputs. Specifically, when will another Royals player hit for the cycle? The Royals currently have the longest no-cycle drought in Major League Baseball. The last Royals hitter to hit for the cycle was G...2025

JON RATHBUN / Herkimer Times Telegram / USA TODAY NETWORK Spoiler: there will be no gifting of birds. It’s the holiday season. It’s also a rather busy point in the baseball offseason. The Winter Meetings took place earlier this week. The Mets just signed a player to what will end up being the worst contract in the history of professional sports.

• The Next Brewers Hall of Famers (and a Hall-of-Fame Rabbit Hole)

Charles LeClaire-Imagn Images I have thoughts. On Sunday, former Brewer All-Star Dave Parker was one of two players (along with Dick Allen) inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, via the Era Committee’s Classic Baseball Era (formerly known as the Veterans Committee) ballot. I’m a Hall junkie, so I had a million thoughts, some of which I will share. But the thought that will guide me: who...2024

Photo by Focus on Sport/Getty Images Royals legends get honored by the NLBM. David Lesky considers trading Freddy Fermin. It makes some sense because the Royals have Luca Tresh close to ready to be a backup catcher in the big leagues. Aside from him, they have Jensen working his way through the system and Mitchell not far behind him. There should theoretically be a market for a guy like F...2024

Sometimes it’s heaven, sometimes it’s hell With the Royals and Yankees squaring off in the playoffs for the first time since 1980 (how is that possible??) I thought it might be fun to take a walk down memory lane. Depending on your age, it could be traumatic. The first time the two teams met was in the 1976 Championship Series.

Bobby Witt Jr’s MVP-like performance helped push the Royals back to the postseason. Kauffman Stadium was built for speed. Ironically, that wasn’t the intent.
