Dave Morehead
The prevailing theme of the 1968 expansion draft seemed to be that the Royals were set on taking younger players who hadn’t much Major League experience. The draft was loaded with scads of unproven rookies, journeymen, and sore armed pitchers. One of those sore-armed pitchers, Dave Morehead was selected by Royals with the fifteenth overall pick.
Morehead was a native of San Diego and graduated from the same high school, Herbert Hoover High, that produced Ted Williams and Ray Boone. In fact, it was Boone who signed Morehead to a free agent contract with the Boston Red Sox shortly after his high school graduation.
