• Weekend Rumblings - News for November 16, 2024Photo 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.

• Yankees vs. Royals: Resuming a historical RivalrySometimes 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. The Royals, in only their eighth season, held off the Oakland A’s for...2024Check it out George Brett injuries -

• The best Royals seasons by ageGet that young man a Hamm’s Baseball is hard. Hitting a 95 MPH pitch is tough business. Throwing one might be even harder than hitting one. When looking at the Royals best seasons by age, I was a little surprised how bereft they were at the young ages. The Royals have had very few players, let alone stars, at young ages. Those guys are like unicorns. Dwight Gooden was worth 5.5 WAR at the age of ...2024Continue with Dwight Gooden injury -

• 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 -

His credentials are far too impressive for just a plain oversight, so there must be another underlying reason. The most common the...2024See also Royals Hall -
