In Jeff Montgomery’s rookie year with Cincinnati, he made one start in fourteen games.  He would be traded to the Royals where he would never start again, and never play for anyone else.

Lorenzo Cain played for Kansas City for seven seasons and he was arguably the team’s spark plug for much of that time.

In the mid-1970’s it would be hard to dispute that John Mayberry was one of the biggest reasons to catch a Royals Game.  On a team that did not have a lot of power hitters, it was Mayberry who would be the one to most likely go deep. 

Mike Sweeney is one of the all-time good guys of the Kansas City Royals in terms of dugout presence, community involvement and just being a quality human being.  More importantly (for this list anyway) he was a pretty solid player.
