Former KC Royals outfielder Raúl Ibañez retired from the playing field last winter. Though he is today part of Fox Sports World Series broadcast team, his legacy lives on in the Kansas City Royals clubhouse.
Ibañez is still a big part of what’s going on in Kansas City today.
Back in July of 2014, KC Royals GM plucked Raúl Ibañez from the waiver wire in hopes the 42-year-old veteran might jump start his stagnant offense. Coming into the 2014 season after their first over-.500 record in 10 years, the Kansas City Royals were mired in a disappointing start.
