We are down to our final four most beloved Royals of all time! We divided 64 players into four eras - The Herzog era (1969-1980), the Howser era (1981-1994), the Muser era (1995-2010), and the Yost era (2011-2019) and we have determined the most beloved player from each era. You can see how the last round of voting went here.

George Brett vs. Frank White
They are the only two Royals players whose numbers are retired, so you had to figure they would both advance to this round. Brett got 89 percent of the vote to top Amos Otis, while Frank got 61 percent of the vote over Bret Saberhagen.
