As we reflect upon the year that was, it is important to remember those we lost this year. Unfortunately that includes a few former Royals players. Let’s look back on their careers and celebrate their remarkable lives.
Norm Angelini
Angelini was a kid from San Francisco who got the attention from scouts as a high schooler with a terrific curveball. He attended a nearby two-year school, College of San Mateo ,and turned down three Major League clubs that drafted him to attend Washington State University. He signed as an amateur free agent with the Royals in 1969.
