Royals' Alex Gordon Retiring After 14 Seasons

Longtime Royals star Alex Gordon is hanging it up.

Kansas City announced on Thursday that the seven-time Gold Glove winner will retire at the end of the 2020 season.

Gordon, 36, has spent his entire career with the Royals and helped lead the club to a World Series victory in 2015. His strong postseason performance that year included a game-tying home run off Mets closer Jeurys Familia in the ninth inning of Game 1, which the Royals would go on to win in 14 innings.

Gordon debuted with Kansas City in 2007 as a third baseman and later moved to left field in 2010.
