  • “The Royals of Sir Cedric” by Steve Treder of the Hardball Times December 21, 2004
    “The Royals of Sir Cedric” by Steve Treder of The Hardball Times December 21, 2004 At its inception, the most successful expansion franchise in pre-free agency baseball history didn’t impress many observers. The Kansas City Royals devoted most of their expansion draft picks to unproven young players, in distinct contrast to the approach taken by their companion A.L. expansion team, the Seattle Pilots. Take a look at the first ten choices of each club, noting each player’s age and major league experience as of the October 15, 1968 draft: Royals: Player Age ML Seasons ML Experience 1.

On Sport and Society. 499. https://stars.library.ucf.edu/onsportandsociety/499 SPORT AND SOCIETY FOR ARETE March 4, 1998 It has been the year to remember the achievements of Jackie Robinson both in and outside of baseball. Robinson's breaking of the color line had a social significance which transcended the game of baseball. At the season opener at Shea Stadium the President of the United States recognized Jackie Robinson, and the Acting Commissioner of Baseball retired Jackie's number for all of major league baseball. Radio and TV programs have examined the events of 1947, social commentators have recalled Robinson's contributions to American life, and baseball historians have paid their tributes to this remarkable man. At baseball's annual All-Star game next week in Cleveland, the man who broke the color line in the American League and in Cleveland will finally receive some of the recognition he deserves.
