Frank White

I'm watching the Yankees-Royals game right now. Last month, I saw the Royals in person when they came to Denver to face the Rockies.
I wrote about Doug Sisson (The Sizzler), the Royals first base coach on a post on July 1st.
I forgot to write about Frank White, the Royals former second baseman and now a broadcaster for the Royals.
Back when the Yankees and KC were scrapping for American League pennants, I wasn't a Frank White fan. I was, of course, partial to Yankees keystoner Willie Randolph.
Anyway, White was a great fielder, smooth as glass. He was also a tough out and a clutch hitter.
I introduced myself to White at Coors Field and was really impressed with how nice and friendly he was. Some guys will give you the "hey, how are ya" line and go about their business. But White was really engaging and his enthusiasm level climbed when we talked about the great playoff matchups of the past between the Yankees and Royals.
Since he was such a pleasant man I thought I would write about Frank White here. But I forgot...until now. Better late than never, right?
