Ok, then.
I find that hard to believe, but at the same time know why. George, one of the greatest hitters ever, was there to coach, to offer his expertise, to suggest mechanics that might make a young hitter better.
The other coach was there to coach as well, but not with a sense of urgency — rather, more by telling the hitters what they wanted to hear. George eventually quit because he felt he was wasting everyone’s time in a failing effort to connect with them.
The Royals have consistently struggled to score runs (they’re 24th of 30 teams in runs scored since 2005), but they didn’t want to listen to a Hall of Famer and the best hitter in franchise history dispense advice. Gotcha.
