Eric Hosmer left the KC Royals three years ago. He’s had some good moments since then, but there have also been disappointments.
Together with the rest of his San Diego teammates, Eric Hosmer took forced leave from the National League playoffs a few nights ago. Hosmer, the former KC Royals first baseman hoping to lead the Padres to the same heights he helped the Royals achieve, must now wait for a second World Series title.
The Padres became this short season the exciting team many thought they could and should be, but the Dodgers swept them out of the playoffs with three straight NLDS wins that sent them home to a long winter.
