Two of the men that helped build the Royals from the ground up into an eventual world champion will be honored by the organization this year. The Royals announced that former general managers Cedric Tallis and John Schuerholz have been elected into the team’s Hall of Fame. They will both be honored at a private luncheon on June 28, followed by a pre-game ceremony that evening before the game against the Cleveland Guardians. The Royals announced yesterday that former Royals outfielder Bo Jackson will also be inducted into the Royals Hall of Fame.
Tallis was the first GM in club history, building the Royals from nothing as an expansion team.
