KANSAS CITY -- As the Royals gear up for their 50th season in 2018, the club has announced it will produce a special-edition coffee-table book to commemorate the anniversary.
The hardcover book called "Kansas City Royals: A Golden History," will be authored almost entirely by those in the Royals' organization. It will include essays by Hall of Famer George Brett on why as a southern California kid he decided to make Kansas City his year-round home, as well as vignettes from players such as Eric Hosmer.
Also included in the book, published by Skybox Publishing, will be essays from Hall of Fame broadcaster Denny Matthews and announcer Ryan Lefebvre.
