• It’s time to honor George SpriggsThe former Royals player was once a Negro Leaguer. 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 ...2025See more articles Cedric Tallis -

• 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...2023Visit the page Randy Johnson -
• Wrigley Field historical sleuthing: 1964 edition
Once again, this photo is not from the year the site I found it said it was. I found this photo on a closed eBay auction page with the title “BASEBALL CHICAGO CUBS WRIGLEY FIELD VIEW TOWARD CENTER FIELD ISSUED CIRCA 1955.” That’s not even close to the right date and I don’t even have to look at the matchups to tell you that it’s not 1955.
