Many greats have patrolled the outfield at Kauffman Stadium over the years. Amos Otis. Willie Wilson. Lorenzo Cain. But rarely have the Royals had three great outfielders. In fact, very rarely does any team find three All-Star caliber outfielders. But for one brief period of time, the Royals had just that, an outfield that was the envy of baseball.
Carlos Beltran, Johnny Damon, and Jermaine Dye spent just three full seasons together, but they were the most dynamic outfield in baseball when they patrolled the Kansas City outfield. Damon provided the elite speed, leading the league in stolen bases, and providing the kind of gap power perfectly suited for Kauffman Stadium.
