2013 Royals Spring Training: Ervin Santana custom card Leave a comment
Holy crap it’s finally here! Baseball season is officially starting to brew. It is always the first real sign that winter is on it’s way out. As I have done the last couple years I will make a spring training set of the Royals players in camp based on the new 2013 Topps design. It is always a daunting but fun project. I love seeing the first glimpse of a player in their new uniform, especially Royals players. I’m starting out of the gate with a big one, your first look at a baseball card of Ervin Santana as a member of the Kansas City Royals and your first look at the 2013 Topps spring training card design. Enjoy!
36 Greatest Royals: David Cone Leave a comment
People think of David Cone as a Yankee. That is really a shame because he had great years with both the Mets and the Kansas City Royals. Probably not the best year of his career, but he won the Cy Young with the Royals in 1994. He went 16-5 with a 2.94 ERA that year for the Royals who had drafted him 13 years earlier. He had 20 win seasons with both the Mets and Yankees but 1994 with Kansas City was his only Cy Young award.
36 Greatest Royals of all-time: Joakim Soria Leave a comment
Joakim Soria’s stay in Kansas City was ultimately short but he still had a huge impact on not so great teams. He was the third really dominant closer Kansas City has had and for about three years was a premier closer in the American League. It is sad to see him get injured and move to Texas but I wish him nothing but the best. He made two all-star teams for the Royals (2008, 2010) and amassed 160 saves while in Kansas City with a 2.40 ERA.
