Obviously, Jackie Robinsons #42 is no longer issued on MLB uniforms after every team had retired the #42 in 1997. In this piece, I will take a look at some of the KC Royals that have worn that number on the back of their uniform.
Al Fitzmorris – 1969
Anybody that remembers Al Fitzmorris may remember that he mainly wore #39 in his KC Royals career. But in 1969, the KC Royals first year as a franchise, Al Fitzmorris wore #42 briefly.
Fitzmorris only appeared in 7 gamers that year though, with all those appearances coming in relief.
