Offensively speaking, Patek struggled to get over .300 in On Base Percentage (he had a career .309 OBP with Kansas City) but when he got on base he was always a threat to steal another one. He would lead the AL in swipes in 1977 and had eight straight campaigns where he went over 30. He was also a three-time All-Star.
Patek was chosen for the Royals Hall of Fame in 1992.
