• 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...2023See also Randy Johnson
