Let me explain. Larry Jackson had an outstanding 1964 season — 24-11, 3.14 ...2025See more Ernie Banks breaking news -

Now that Cedric Tallis, the Royals' first general manager, and architect of their early success has been inducted into the Royals Hall of Fame, I need to find a new windmill to tilt at. My other pet project over the years has been for the club to bestow some type of recognition on George Spriggs. Spriggs’ contract was purchased by Tallis from the ...2025Read about Cedric Tallis breaking news -

• 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...2023Check it out Randy Johnson -
