Re: Top Three Franchise Players- Royals

1. George Brett

2. Frank White, 2B, five time All-Star, 8 time Gold Glover, 1986 Silver Slugger, 1980 ALCS MVP, #20 retired by the team, 2,000 career hits.

3. Dan Quisenberry, RP, best closer in baseball for the first half of the 1980s. Five time Rolaids Relief Man of the Year. Three-time All-Star. His adjusted ERA+ is third all-time among closers, and let's face it, his submarine-style delivery was just a joy to watch. I grew up trying to emulate it.

Honorable mentions to Saberhagen and Hal McRae.

Re: Top Three Franchise Players- Royals

I'm going to choose Brett, Amos Otis, and Dennis Leonard. Otis was a 5 time All-Star and Gold Glove centerfielder who could hit for average and power. Leonard was a 20 game winner 3 times and much more consistent than Saberhagen.

Re: Top Three Franchise Players- Royals

It's probably the most important thing in the world to know what op stands for c'mon. Forget about poverty. Lets just beef up on internet language like the other scholars. I mean, when I found out what lol stood for it changed my life.
