Former Royals Throughout Baseball: Opening Day Edition

Do you ever stare blankly into the screen at an unfamiliar Detroit Tigers or Minnesota Twins pitcher, only to think, "Hey!  This guy's delivery resembles that of Jeff Granger?"  Do you ever wonder where - anywhere in the world - Lima Time might be occurring?  Do you still lavish over the gritty hustle of Travis 'Gookie' Dawkins?  And just how gordo is Denny(s*) Reyes these days, anyway? (*The 's' is optional, and should not be used in informal speech).

These questions - and possibly more - are answered in this month's edition of Former Royals Throughout Baseball, a segment which focuses on how our ex-Boys in Blue (or black/grey/powder blue) are faring throughout the great game.

This month, we won't focus on statistics or contracts.  We'll just let you know where you might find that ex Boy in Blue, so your trip down memory lane on this lazy Sunday can go all the easier.
