A few weeks ago, I was driving across the length of Nebraska, the great state that gave us the Cornhuskers, The Runza and Alex Gordon. Once you clear the NASCAR stretch between Omaha and Lincoln, well, there’s not much out there. I did find a couple of interesting stops in the western half, Chevyland USA near Elk Creek and the excellent Robert Henri Art Museum in Cozad. All those open miles gave me plenty of time to think and one of my thoughts was: who is the second-greatest Royal of all time? There is no disputing the greatest. Until another player collects 3,000 plus hits, wins multiple batting titles, a World Series championship and goes into Cooperstown wearing Royal Blue, the GOAT is still George Brett.
Who is the second-best Royals player of all-time?
