The KC Royals made a former Kansas City A’s pitcher a member of their first team, and he pitched well for the new franchise.
You won’t find a plaque for him in Cooperstown, nor is he a member of the KC Royals Hall of Fame. He never won a Cy Young Award, pitched a no-hitter or made an All-Star team.
But Moe Drabowsky has his place in the annals of major league baseball in Kansas City. He was an important part of both the city’s American League entries. He pitched in four seasons for the A’s and two for the Royals.
