A few friends from high school whom my relationships go back thirty years had a discussion during Game 7 of the World Series via text about whether Zack Greinke is Hall of Fame material. I decided to take a trip down memory land to review his best years with the Kansas City Royals.
Way back in 2002, the Royals took Greinke as the sixth pick overall out of Apopka High School in Apopka, Florida. There he was named a Gatorade National High School Player of the Year where he excelled not only on the mound but also at the plate.
