As the Royals take the field Thursday for game one of the American League Divisional Series against the Astros, Mike Moustakas will trot out to his spot at third base.
This is normal.
As he steps onto the field Thursday, he will be doing it as a third baseman for the Kansas City Royals for the 677 time, including playoffs.
Only four Royals in the franchise’s 46 year history will have played more games at third base than Moustakas has, as he is set to pass Mark Teahen‘s 676 appearances on Thursday.
