With their 2015 World Series championship, the Kansas City Royals claimed their spot among baseball's top current franchises. Through the words of the players, via multiple interviews conducted with current and past Royals, readers will meet the players, coaches, and management and share in their moments of greatness and defeat. Montgomery recounts moments with George Brett, Willie Wilson, and Mike Sweeney as well as the current squad under Ned Yost, including Eric Hosmer and Alex Gordon. Kansas City fans will not want to be without this book.
A nice book, of memoirs and memories from a former Royals reliever and current broadcaster Jeff Montgomery. Lots of wonderful memories and stories about the Royals from the Mid 80's through their recent run of success. Probably wont appeal to Yankee fans, Cardinal Fans,(but what the heck they wont read the book anyways) or non baseball fans But if you like to Kansas City Royals you will enjoy the book.
This is not a tell-all memoir but it includes some anecdotes about the KC Royals that fans might enjoy. Montgomery makes lists of "best" (or favorite) players and games. This book is better than the one by Denny Matthews, though maybe I had higher expectations from Matthews because of his long relationship with the team.
