Shawon Dunston takes exception to Jason Bates' hard slide into 2nd, then the benches clear and both players are ejected in the 6th

Brett went out with a single, not a whimper, in the Royals' regular-season finale at Arlington Stadium on October 3, 1993. He'd actually announced his retirement back in September so everyone in the building knew it was his last at-bat, part of why the ovation runs so long.

Twenty-one seasons, all in Kansas City, and he ended it exactly how you'd want to.

In 1978, my rookie year with the Royals, I spent hours every day under a hitting coach named Charley Lau.

He'd already built a reputation as one of the best hitting minds in the game. George Brett and Hal McRae were his students before me, and both went on to have Hall-of-Fame-caliber careers.

That season I was a mess in the batter's box.

Some weeks I felt like I'd invented the game. Other weeks I couldn't have hit water falling out of a boat.

After one hot stretch, I won the American League Player of the Week award, which came with a Bulova watch, the league insignia on the dial, my name engraved on the back. At the ceremony, about a month later, right before I walked onto the field to accept it, Charley put his arm around me.

"I'm proud of you, Clint," he said. "Always remember, there are two types of people in this world: those who are humble, and those who are about to be. You've been both. Remain the first one."

I wish I could tell you I learned that lesson once and never needed it again.

I didn't.

I've had the ego kicked out of me more than once since 1978, and each time it gets replaced with a little more humility.

George Brett receives his Sporting News Player of the Year Award for 1980 at the Winter Meetings in Dallas. Brett hit .390 that season as he won MVP and led the Royals to their first pennant.

George Brett hit .390 in 1980.

At that point the Missouri DMV apparently decided an eye exam was just wasting everybody’s time.

Honestly, hard to argue with the logic.

That time when Matt Stairs tried to nail the player at home with his rocket of an arm but accidentally hit the “cut off” man Ken Harvey in the back.

Such a fluke.

Today they call this assault. We called it a fielder’s choice.

Brian Jordan for some reason gets left off as one of the best 2 way players.

Patrick Mahomes once tossed a 16-strikeout no-hitter while in high school. Oh, the losing pitcher in that game? Former White Sox pitcher Michael Kopech.

George Brett last at bat in the big leagues

Great quote from Tommy John

[Stirrups Now! @uniformcritic]

Since 1965 George Brett has the 2nd most triples (137)…Willie Wilson is 1st with 147. Jose Reyes comes in third with 131. Brett was surprising here…

Bo Jackson hits a dribbler up the middle, smokes Ryan in the face and dude doesn't even flinch before making the out at first 😳
