Nate Adcock was a rule 5 draft choice by the Kansas City Royals in 2011.

His Major League Debut was on opening day 2011, March 31. He pitched one scoreless inning and gave up two hits, walking none and striking out none.
Card Printing: 1983 Topps Royals, Major League Debut 3 comments
My sets of 1983 Topps Royals and Major League Debut custom cards printed, cut and ready to go into binders.
This is kind of a big pay-off for me making my custom cards. I don’t print many of them but I do like to print some. I decided to print my whole 1983 Topps Royals set and my major league debut cards. I was pretty happy with the result. They always seem to print a little dark but that is not a big issue. I print them on 120 lbs. card stock and cut them with a small slide cutter so my edges are always straight. It is incredibly difficult to get the cards centered if they have a white border but I get better at that with each set I cut. This picture show my set scattered on the floor. I usually print 2 sets of everything I decide to print, one to go in a Royals binder and one to keep in a separate card stack. So far I have printed I believe five sets and am looking forward to doing more.
Danny Duffy Major League Debut custom card Leave a comment
Danny Duffy was the a high profile major league debut for the Kansas City Royals against the Texas Rangers in Kauffman Stadium on May 18, 2011. He started the game and went 4 innings giving up 2 runs on 4 hits and striking out 4. Duffy did have control problems in that game which was his downfall giving him a high pitch count quickly as he walked 6 batters in his 4 innings. He would not figure in the decision.

Mike Moustakas 2011 Royals Futures Game custom card Leave a comment
Many times I feel like I post things on my site too quickly and people don’t have a chance to find them. I like keeping up a high turnover on the site so there is something new hopefully almost every time a visitor comes to my site. Because of this I feel like some of my cards get overlooked.
I dug out this Mike Moustakas card to post today because lets face it, everything is about Mike Moustakas right now. I have done this a couple times so far I might make it a regular feature, call it “flashback” or “In Case You Missed It.”
This card of Moose is from the Royals futures game on April 2nd 2011 at Kauffman Stadium. I attended the game an was likely more excited for it than any Royals game in a very long time. I made a complete set to commemorate the game. It is another original design, I will re-post several of these in the coming weeks.
