The 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.

• Remembering the career of Bobby Shantz

He was a lefty with the heart of a lion. My father used to regale me with stories about old baseball players and teams. I suppose that’s the reason I’m more interested in the old times than the modern game. Dad was a Brooklyn Dodgers fan, so I heard a lot of stories about “Dem Bums” growing up, but he also had an appreciation for any player with talent. He admired stars like Stan Musial and Willie...2025

With AAU and traveling teams, pre-teen ballplayers probably play more games in a summer than I played in the...2024

• Not in the Hall of Fame: Dave Parker
They called Dave Parker “The Cobra” and the nickname fit.

He was the most dangerous player at the plate and if he wasn’t aiming for the fences, he would calmly stroke a ...2017
