Book excerpt: So You Think You’re a Kansas City Royals Fan? will test and expand your knowledge of one of Major League Baseball’s most successful expansion franchises. Rather than merely posing questions and providing answers, you’ll get details behind each—stories that bring to life the history of the Kansas City Royals. This book, part of a new series, is divided into four parts, with progressively more difficult questions in each new section. The first three-inning section contains the most basic questions. Next come the middle innings, then the late innings, and finally the Hall of Fame. Also, you’ll learn more about the great players and names in Royals history both past and present, from George Brett to Eric Hosmer, Amos Otis and Willie Wilson to Lorenzo Cain, Dan Quisenberry, Jeff Montgomery, Frank White, Mike Sweeney, Mike Moustakas, Bret Saberhagen, Paul Splittorff, Dennis Leonard, Whitey Herzog, Dick Howser, Ned Yost, Denny Matthews, Alex Gordon, and so many more—even Bo Jackson, of course. The many questions this book answers include: • Who was the first player inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame with the Royals listed on his plaque? • What special first in World Series history was the 2015 match-up between the Mets and Royals? • Which two Royals players worked on crews that helped build Royals Stadium? • Who was the first hitter to record a multi–home run game for the Royals? This book makes the perfect gift for any fan of the 2015 World Champion Royals!
