\"royals\"<\/a>With baseball now officially on its way back after the corona virus, I thought it would be an interesting time to look back at the all time leaders in both offensive and defensive categories for all 30 teams. We continue today with the Kansas City Royals.<\/p>\n

The Royals began life in 1969, joining the\u00a0American League following the abandonment of the\u00a0Kansas City\u00a0market by\u00a0the A’s\u00a0following the\u00a01967 season. \u00a0I’ve seen them play 55 times, first in 1985 at old Comiskey Park where Willie Wilson took a throw to second base off the noggin, to last April, where I saw them in an early season series at Guaranteed Rate Field.<\/p>\n
