Any fan of the Kansas City Royals, or baseball in general, knows George Brett’s place in history. His accomplishments read like the novelization of what any kid dreams of being as a baseball player, as Brett became the first player to win a batting title in three different decades, and won an MVP award and a Gold Glove. His 3156 hits rank 16th all time, and his 665 career doubles are sixth in baseball history. It was certainly not a surprise that Brett reached the Hall of Fame in his first year on the ballot, as he received 98.
