The Royals used to have a player I thought was good but you guys have convinced me
he is the 117th best third basemen of all time and dropping fast so I kind of forgot about him. Can't recall the name anymore.

    Let me get in on this, I don't get a chance to discuss baseball around here that much. While probably not considered the greatest Royal of all time, he's certainly my favorite, what an athlete this man was.

    Kevin Seitzer?

    You have to have some serious speed to be playing center field and move Willie Wilson to left.
    I remember watching Bo, it was so frustrating because he struck out so much. When he made contact
    good things happened. :) I guess he was just ahead of his time, now everybody strikes out that much.

    I think Bob Hamelin would have to be the best Royal of all time. He also has the best baseball card of all time

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    Sorry but the 1953 Pee Wee Reese Bowman color is better for those that choose to go down the path of the best baseball card of all time. And I suspect if I gave the matter further thought, I could come up with others.

    Greatest Royal? Really... This might be a compelling reason to punt on third down

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    I think you don't understand @craig44 's post because you haven't seen the card. I'm doing a public service here:

    Seriously, if you're going to omit He Who Must Not Be Named, Kevin Appier is probably the best choice.

    This must be a trick question.

    Thanks for your public service. Sort of misses the mark for a Wheaties Box and I suppose Alka-Seltzer chose to take things in a different direction.

    Sadly Pinnacle was not even on the radar...

    I would go with Amos Otis if omitting the unmentionable one.
    As for pitchers, I would put Saberhagen at the top followed by Appier, Dennis Leonard, Quisinberry, and Jeff Montgomery
    in no particular order.
