Skippered by Jack McKeon and led by the ace Paul Splitoff's 20 wins, the 1973 Kansas City Royals gave it a good run but ultimately finished second in the division to the pennant-winning Oakland Athletics. This OAL (Cronin) baseball is signed by 24 members of the Royals, including a 20-year old rookie named George Brett, who appeared in just 13 games. McKeon grabs the sweet spot, with a very strong Brett signature to the right of the stamp. A very rare team-signed ball from Brett's brief rookie stint.
