• Home run-hitting pitchers

Getty Chicks dig the long ball I was recently reading about the all-time career home run leaders for pitchers by each team. The Royals were towards the bottom of the pile, primarily since the American League instituted the Designated Hitter in 1973. Their home run leader is Jim Rooker, one of the original Royals. He has five, a record that will most likely never be broken. Four of those di...2025

• 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
