It has been 1768 days since Eric Hosmer, Mike Moustakas, Lorenzo Cain, and Alcides Escobar all gathered on the infield for a final ovation from the Kansas City faithful. It was the last day of the regular season in 2017, a game that saw Hosmer homer in his first at-bat as the crowd gave him his first standing ovation of the year.
Since then, Moustakas and Cain have both returned to thunderous applause. Escobar spent several more years in Kansas City. We’ve even had an Alex Gordon Day.
Hosmer was the last guy to get his due.
