KC Royals outfielder Alex Gordon is the popular subject of recent media pieces. Sparked by Kansas City Star beat writer Lynn Worthy’s piece and including David Scharff’s recent story here at Kings of Kauffman, writers are discussing Gordon’s desire to keep playing. The focus of this story isn’t Gordon’s wishes; instead, it asks whether the Royals should bring their outfield icon back when his contract expires after this season.
It seems like only yesterday that Gordon arrived as a “next George Brett” type player, a third baseman who the club knew could, and eventually would, hit.
