Alex Gordon is one of the greatest players in KC Royals franchise history. He’s going to have his number retired by the team one day, and he more than deserves it. Seven Gold Glove awards, plenty of highlights plays and endless testimonials on his ability to leave a positive impact on a clubhouse. An entire career with the same team. They simply don’t make them like Gordon anymore.
Whit Merrifield has also carved out quite a productive career in Kansas City. The former South Carolina Gamecock standout didn’t debut until he was 27 years old. Since that point, he’s been arguably the best player on the team.
