Which HOF pitcher was drafted by the Kansas City Royals, on Oct 15, 1968 as the 49th pick in the 1968 expansion draft from the Chicago White Sox? Than was traded by the Royals to the California Angels for Ed Kirkpatrick and Dennis Paepke, on Dec 12, 1968.
He was on the Royals roster for only 2 months, during the off season and never pitched an inning for them.
BIGGER did you know; Was there a card made listing him as a Royal???
Can you guess !!!!

KEEP ON COLLECTING!!
I knew that Hoyt was a Royal for a short time, but never knew about that '69 Topps Stamp listing him as one. He's the subject of my favorite player collection. I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for that one!
ReplyDeleteVery cool! Like Nick, I'll have to try tracking down one of these sometime, too. Would have been better had they airbrushed a logo onto the blacked-out Sox cap, but that's Topps at the time for ya. Same photo used on his flagship 1969 card and the deckle edge insert from that year (as "Angels" cards).
