The KC Royals have a long history of great players who have worn the blue uniforms. Some of them spent many years with the team, and some just a short time. The impact that many of these players have had, though, is lasting.
In the ’80s, the Royals had numerous players who could be put down as greats, both pitchers and position players. One of these pitchers, who emerged to put himself in the Royals history books, is Mark Gubicza.
Gubicza started his journey when he was drafted by the Royals in 1981 out of the William Penn Charter School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
