After I completed the series on the 1985 team, I decided to embark on a different tangent. Trying to identify the five best to play each position for the Royals along with the five best managers and general managers. Why not start at the top?
Since there have only been six general managers in the Royals 51-year history, this might seem like an easy place to start. After digging through the numbers, I found it anything but easy. Let’s look at the list.
6. Allard Baird
Tenure as general manager: June 2000 to May 2006, five full seasons, two partial seasons.
