The Royal Lords of Flatbush (this is a quiz)

[batmagadanleadoff]

Inspired by Batmags's Quickie Quizzes, I did a little checking and have determined that ONE player remains active as of Spring 2015 who can say "I played at Atlanta-Fulton County Stadium, where the New York Mets invented the National League Championship Series, where John Stearns delivered a message to Chief Noc-a-homa, where Rick Camp did unspeakable things to Tom Gorman at unspeakable hours and, oh yeah, Henry Aaron told Babe Ruth to get lost."

So who are the only Kansas City Royals players to have appeared in a game played at Ebbets Field? One guess per post.

Moe Drabowski.

Pretty good. One more to go.

Shmay-Rod.

Minnie Minoso was old enough (IIRC he made his comeback with KC), but I don't think his Chisox ever played in Brooklyn.
Hawk Taylor.

Because you've been so good at this quiz, MFS62, I'm gonna add one more correct answer.

During the Royals' existence, the only team Minoso ever played for was the White Sox. I had left out Taylor the Hawk. I didn't bother checking him out when I saw his name come up on the '69 Royals roster because Hawk was 17 years old in '57 and also, I remembered Hawk's '61 Topps rookie star card (shown above) and figured, incorrectly, that he wouldnt have been around in '57, four years before his rookie star card. He was, and appeared in seven games, one of them at Ebbets --his second MLB game ever.
