Ed Note 1: This is a weird spot for me. You’re used to seeing me on Fridays, dishing out links and writing massive screeds about something pop culture-y like video games or movies or some other random off topic, um, topic. However, I also fashion myself an amateur RR historian, if there is such a thing. No, not an actual good baseball historian like Bradford. But I’ve been around here long enough that I had a series called “Best of Royals Review” that ran more than 50 times in Friday Rumblings. I started writing a comment this morning and, eventually, I turned around and it was long enough to turn into a story so here we are.
