Even if you don't know Alex Gordon personally, you can watch him and get a decent sense of his personality.
He doesn't seem to have a giant ego.
"I mean, he was our long-snapper," former Lincoln Southeast quarterback Nick Bahe said as he reminisced Saturday about one of the best pure athletes ever to grace the playing fields and arenas of Lincoln.
The 36-year-old Gordon will end a 14-year professional baseball career Sunday afternoon in Kansas City, Missouri, where the Royals will play the Detroit Tigers. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2005 MLB Draft signed nine contracts with the Royals across 14 seasons and helped the franchise capture the 2015 World Series.
