Reasonable minds can disagree about the lowest moment in those years when the Royals were closer to a tragicomedy than a Major League Baseball team. The Chip Ambres game. Ken Harvey’s back. Kerry Robinson climbing the wall. Buddy Bell saying he’ll never say it can’t get worse.
There is not enough space on the Internet for all of it, so let’s move on, except to say there is a strong case that the worst moment of them all came Sept. 29, 2002.
That was the last game of another bad season. The Royals had lost 99 games.
