Follow @RoyalsBlue_com The Royals have had many players who made names for themselves in Kansas City.  However, they've had many great players come through that made their names in other places.  Here are those players. MLB.com Executive Columnist and former Kansas City Star writer, Joe Posnanski, wrote an article named He Played Where?  Majors’ best ‘irony jerseys’ in which he listed players who were known for playing for one team and spent a part of their time with another team.  Players like Willie Mays playing for the New York Mets and Steve Carlton playing for the Minnesota Twins. This led me to go through the list of all-time Royals and see who played for the Royals that many of you may not know or remember that they played for the Royals. The following is a list of people who played for the Royals but are remembered for playing with other teams. Jose Bautista (2004) No. 27: Before he became a six-time All Star, three-time Silver Slugger Award winner, Blue Jays postseason hero, and a villain to Royals fans everywhere, Royals fans actually cheered for this guy; albeit briefly. In 2004, Bautista was just starting his Major League career.  He played thirteen games for the Royals, hitting a line of .200/.231/.240 before being traded to the New York Mets for Justin Huber.  The Royals were his third stop that year while he played for four teams. Vida Blue (1982-83) No. 33 & No. 14: Vida Blue was one of the best pitchers of the 1970s and was instrumental for the Oakland A’s winning three straight World Series titles from 1972-74.  In 1971, he won the American Cy Young Award and the American League Most Valuable Player.  After a few seasons with the San Francisco Giants he was traded to the Royals and was supposed to be the veteran presence in a young pitching staff.  However, his production with the Royals bwas not close to what he once was.  He finished 13-17 with a 4.49 ERA in parts of two seasons with the Royals.  In 1983, he went 0-5 with a 6.01 ERA before being released by the Royals when it was found out that he was using cocaine.  He would plead guilty to cocaine usage after the 1983 season and took part in the 1985 Pittsburgh drug trials. Tom Browning (1995) No. 32: Tom Browning was an All-Star pitcher with the Cincinnati Reds and a vital piece in the Reds upsetting the Oakland A’s in the 1990 World Series.  I’ve followed the Royals for as far as I can remember (1992, I think) and I do not remember at all Tom Browning pitching for the Royals. Browning only pitched two games for the Royals.  He pitched 5.2 innings while giving up five runs in an 8-1 loss to the Angels and, in his final start of his career, he only lasted 4.1 innings while giving up four runs in a 10-3 loss to the A’s. Bill Buckner (1988-89) No. 14: Buckner will unfortunately be remembered for his infamous miscue in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series.  However, he was actually a really good ball player.  Buckner was an All-Star and even won a batting title for the Chicago Cubs. When the Royals signed Buckner in 1988, he was well past his prime.  He was signed to give George Brett a day off and also serve as a designated hitter on occasion.  In his two years with the Royals, he hit a line of .239/.269/.316. Orlando Cepeda (1974) No. 30: Cepeda was an eleven-time All-Star, a Rooke of the Year, a Most Valuable Player, helped the St. Louis Cardinals to...
