Custom card of the day: 1993 Donruss Jeremy Guthrie Leave a comment
I wanted to post a card of Jeremy Guthrie before his start tomorrow. He pitched awesome last time out but with an ERA still over 6.00 it isn’t likely to happen again tomorrow so I wanted to get the card up still in the wake of his great start.
Custom Card of the Day: Luis Mendoza 1988 Topps Leave a comment
Pitch good, get a custom card. That’s the way this works. A rare good start for a Royals pitcher warrants another 1988 Topps custom card.
Custom Card of the Day: Billy Butler 1988 Topps 2 comments
Billy Butler was named AL Player of the Week today. This is a big honor because the team was terrible during that stretch. While his numbers weren’t staggering (.458 average, 1 HR, 6 RBI) they were still impressive. He continues to be a great hitter and a rare bright spot for the Kansas City Royals. The picture with the facebook article was cool so it inspired me to do a custom card. I thought since his hand was higher than his head it would make a nice 1988 card so it would break into the team name at the top.
36 Greatest Royals of All-Time: Charlie Leibrandt 2 comments

Kansas City Royals Major League Debut: Ryan Verdugo Leave a comment
Ryan Verdugo made his major league debut on July 17th, 2012 and was one of the worst debut’s in recent memory. He was thrown into the mix as a starting pitcher the Royals officially punted his trade-mate Jonathan Sanchez and ultimately traded him. So Verdugo may have been thrown in a little prematuraly partly because Sanchez pitched so badly and he had to fill in. The Royals may have also felt pressure to prove they didn’t get nothing in return for Melky Cabrera.
He threw just 1 2/3 innings while giving up 6 runs on 8 hits, so yes, more runs given up than outs recorded.

Wil Myers may be the bright spot of the Royals organization at any level right now. Here is an old custom card I did of him last year.
