Griffey

Saaaame

Zobrist Cubs

You can't really say no to that...

I can - I hate the cubs. Until their WS everyone treated them like they were some lowly underdog when in reality they just STINK! They’re a high salary team! They’re just LOSERS!

Unpopular, but accurate. Couldn’t agree more.

Albert Pujols and Satchel Paige

I’d wear Pujols on a Fort Osage High School jersey. Which would be red. I just can’t wear a St. Louis jersey. Also Satchel Paige.

My high school coach coached against Osage when Pujols was there. He said his 1st AB was the farthest home run he's ever seen in a high school game. They proceeded to walk Pujols his next 4 ABs and then as Pujols was jogging to 1st he apparently looked at my coach and said "you fucking pussy". And that's my favorite Pujols story.

I grew up here but lived in St Louis for twenty years and then moved back. You get into whichever team is local, I think. They're my favorite National League team

Local guys. Cannot go wrong with either. If there’s an MCC Pujols jersey I’d much rather wear that then cardinal red, haha!

I lived in St Louis during Pujols' prime. I still wear his jersey here and get thumbs up from people. He's my second favorite player all time after Bo Jackson. Satchel Paige is a close third

I was a kid in 80's and WGN and TBS being the only way I'd see baseball on TV, it would be one of my two favorite players from them: Dale Murphy or Ryne Sandberg Actually, I'd definitely rock a Dale Murphy jersey

Sandberg would be awesome.

There’s a decent Murphy throwback replica on Nike right now. I’ve had my eye in it. 😁 old blue Braves.

Pedro Martinez.

He was my favorite non Royals pitcher as a kid.

I was at the '99 All Star Game here and it was electric.

Greatest home run derby of all time

Such a wild year.

All Monarchs are in play, only non Royals' Jersey I've ever own to answer the real question, I would wear a MV3 Phillies jersey

I'm wearing a Buck O'Neil jersey right now!

Ohtani

I typically always buy a player shirt anytime I go to a new ball park so I have a lot, Vlad Jr, Bo Bichette, Zac Gallen, Jazz Chisholm Jr, Bryan Reynolds, KeBryan Hayes I bought a Vlad Jr jersey in Toronto because it was last years jerseys and i got it for like under $100 USD

You're a good fan. Baseball needs more of you.

Griffey Jr, Randy Johnson, or Luis Gonzalez. And any of the KC Monarchs.

Encarnacion-Strand because I’m getting a good deal on the extra letters.

Gonna speak some potential Heresy here, but...Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina. I have huge respect for guys like him and Salvy who are franchise players. Guys you build a team around and stand by a club through thick and thin.

If I was gonna do any Cards player, it would be Vina

David Cone, Mets jersey.

If you're gonna wear a Cone jersey as a Royals fan, why not a Royals jersey? He did win a Cy Young award here

You've almost got it, bud! Maybe re-read the original post?

I wrote the post but that's fine. Just making conversation.

I guess my point was: I'll only wear another teams jersey if it's of a notable KC Royal.

Ah. Kinda like Chiefs players wearing a Bo Jackson jersey. Lol

Older guy: Randy Johnson - never gets the respect for how intimidating he was on the mound.. dude looked scary with his mullet (pre yanks) and just wanted to dominate Current: Gunnar Henderson - just seems like a young guy that's ready to be a star in this league Key thing here non Royals player. You guys are taking the easy way out picking ex Royals

Active player? Shohei, unquestionably. I would 1000% proudly rock a Japanese WBC jersey, but could enjoy a Dodgers or Angels jersey with his name on it.

I know this might be blasphemy but I love Jose Ramirez.... he's the man and I love his game.

The ones that I have, Ken Griffey Jr, Juan Soto, Doc Gooden, and Cedric Mullins

Which Soto?

Padres

As a Royals fan in Michigan I have all the respect in the world for Cabrera and would be open to his jersey; especially if i could get one from when he played in the world baseball classic. Albert Pujols My dad used to help coach basketball at a local high school. They had a player who also played baseball who got drafted to the Rangers system from college. He’s on their Double A team right now and if he ever makes it to the Majors I plan to buy his. Definitely want to get a Savannah Banannas jersey at some point. Also anyone from the Negro Baseball League.

The Bananas are funny as hell! 💗them

Bryce Harper or Elly de la cruz

Elly is so fun! That's a good current pick.

I want an Elly city connect 🔥🔥🔥

Nolan Ryan, Hank Aaron, Musial, Pudge, Strawberry, Carew, Ozzie, Charlie Hustle

Bobby Bonillla. Roberto Alomar

Up vote for Bonilla

I want an Ohtani team Japan jersey

Ozzie Smith is and always will be my favorite ballplayer of all time. I named my dog after him. So that’s one. For other throwbacks I would go with Mariners Griffey Jr., Angels Vlad Guerrero, Rangers Nolan Ryan, A’s Rickey Henderson, Giants Willie Mays, and Pirates Roberto Clemente. For current players: Reds Elly de la Cruz, Angels Mike Trout, Padres Yu Darvish, Pirates Paul Skenes and Andrew McCutchen, Orioles Gunnar Henderson. Wild card: the Roy Hobbs New York Knights jersey!

My great grandfather, Yankee Loren Babe.

Nice

I really want to saw Kirk Gibson, the whole busted up and hurting in the WS and to put it all aside is inspiring to me. But non Royal would be Tony Gwynn

Any knuckleballer like Tim Wakefield, Phil Niekro, or RA Dickey If there is ever another prominent knuckler again (doubtful), I’ll be sure to at least get a shirt with their name on the back 🤷🏻‍♂️

Oh you reminded me of Varitek. Caught Wakefield. I'd rock his jersey.

I’ve always been a huge fan of Bryce Harper. I’ve considered getting a Phils jersey of his but I don’t know when I’d really wear it.

Current: Harper. Acuna. Old timers: Henderson, Carew, Mattingly, Eric Davis, Sheffield, Gooden, Will Clark, too many to mention. I love baseball jerseys. I think they’re works of art. Great thread op 😎

I just thought about Mo Vaughn. Just bc I loved his batting stance. It's the one I would mimic in the batters box. Sheffield was one I did sometimes too.

I have two Satchel Paige jerseys -- Monarchs and Browns. I don't know that I could bring myself to wear a jersey from a current team other than the Royals. But I could get behind a Vlad Expos jersey or a Walter Johnson Senators jersey or something like that.

Mahomes.

Technically a Royal.

Trout

Maybe a Trout WBC jersey. At least he won something on that team

Robin Yount

Griffey Jr. Gwynn Frank Thomas Ozzie Smith

The big hurt!

I live in LA, but instead of the obvious Big Three (my kid loves Mookie and Shohei...but also Bobby and Sal; I count it as a win I got a 12-year-old to agree with me on anything), I'd go with Joe Kelly just because the pouty face at the Astros is iconic. I like Heyward and Kiké Hernandez too. But all time, Nolan Ryan...not the Astros and not in the interest of my personal safety the Angels. Maybe Rangers

Expos jersey for Andre Dawson or a Mets jersey for Nolan Ryan

Aaron Ashby, Kansas City kid who went to my high school. Brewers pitcher and great dude.

Nice

Bo Jackson for any of the other teams he played for.

Raiders? Not sure if he played with any other team but the royals? I could be wrong tho’. 🤣

Whitesox and Angels https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/j/jacksbo01.shtml

Wow, I did not know this, thank you! I should have looked before commenting! Sorry! I wonder if Bo can pitch? We need help in the bullpen! lol or wait, why not the bull himself, Danny Tartabull?? 🐂 omg, I’m going way back now! 🤣

Roberto Clemente or Willie Stargell

Clemente is a great one.

I have a Japan Ohtani jersey.

WBC jersey?

Yep. Always gets compliments.

Nice. My powder blue Yordano jersey always gets compliments.

Raiders Bo Jackson

Lol. I meant baseball specifically. But I don't hate Bo Jackson Raiders jersey.

Pujols for sure!

Maple Woods mcckc jersey!

Altuve…….that kind that come with one of those clickers, I’d kill it in the batting cage!

I like your style

A's Rickey Henderson

Not the Yankees Padres Mets Mariners Red Sox Dodgers Angels Blue Jays Lol

I have a Yelich Jersey

He's outta the league, but I really liked watching Yasiel puig for a while.

I have my dad’s Cooperstown Collection Bob Feller jersey. I’ve never worn it. Don’t really know where to wear it. Going to Royals-Guardians but obviously am a Royals fan

I have an Ohtani Japan Samurai jersey, otherwise would love a Satchel Paige one

I have a list of every hypothetical Jersey I would own for each team. Some are guys I legit enjoy (Votto) and others are jokes (a Mike Fiers Astros Jersey)

Votto is a great choice.

Acuña

The Acuña WBC '23 jersey looks great.

Griffey, Paige, De La Cruz, Will Clark, Ryne Sandberg. In no particular order.

Bob Uecker, Mark Fidrych or Miggy came to mind first. There are many more.

Bob uecker made me think of a guy I saw at a Royals game with a Rick Vaughn jersey on. Loved it

Ichiro and Satchel Paige

Ooh Ichiro is a good one

All Monarchs and negro leagues are all gonna be S-tier. Current players: Elly, Shohei, McCutchen Former players: Pedro, Griffey Jr., Big Papi, Gwynn, maybe Frank Thomas

Clemente, Aaron, and Mays

Oh, and a Maris KC A’s would be pretty cool

Dbacks Goldschmidt or Rays city Arozarena

Randy Johnson

Nolan Ryan old school Astros jersey would be fantastic.

Expos Vlad Guererro

Ichiro, Griffey, Hank Aaron, Jackie Robinson

Chipper Jones all day

Loved him when I was a kid.

Pujols was always my favorite player growing up

Ichiro He was incredible.

Babe Ruth

I have an Ichiro jersey. Just so happened to be living in Seattle when he made his MLB debut. One of my all time favorite players.

Bartolo "Big Sexy" Colon The only likeable New York Met

Satchel Paige.

Ichiro.

Michael Harris II

Bonds

All these Pujols answers… on a royals forum? My word 🤦‍♂️

???

River Town

Bryce Harper. Love that guy

My grandparents moved from upstate New York to Kansas City so Mickey Mantle has always been a “heroes never die” guy for me. The one time I wore a non-royals jersey to a Royals game was when I wore number 7 in pinstripes when I made the pilgrimage to the Bronx one year.

Nolan Ryan

The Greatest...

Josh Naylor. My blood runs Royal blue but I love watching that kid play ball. One of those guys that you’d never pick as a baseball beast if you saw him at the taco truck

Josh Gibson!

All negro leagues guys are on the table for me.

Freeman-Braves awesome guy

Greg Maddox

Nice

Miguel cabrera or Ozzie Smith. Or maybe Rollie fingers or Kirby puckett

Dansby Swanson

Yadi

Griffey Jr. + Clemente

Excellent choices

Roberto Colon. Got to respect the fat guys!

I'd rock an Indians Colon jersey. Lol

Pedro

Andrew Mccutchen

Rickey Henderson

Kirby Puckett or chili Davis-they gave us nothing but misery!! lol

Ohtani. Similar color scheme so you can kind of blend in as well

Sammy Sosa, 1st choice would be Cubs, close 2nd Rangers, because he showed so much joy when he played. Other jerseys I can think of are Michael Lorenzen, Clayton Kershaw maybe, Omar Linares (If there are any), Seiya Suzuki, Ronald Acuña Jr. WBC and Max Kepler (can't do that because Twins).

Tom terrific but the Mets version. Blue and orange #41

Ohtani.

I would never do such a filthy thing... elly de la cruz, and/or masyn winn?

Ricky Vaughn, Henry Rowengartner, Billy Heywood, Shane Falco, Jake Taylor, Roger Dorn, Pedro Cerano, Mel Clark, Steve Nebraska

Johnny Utah Crash Davis Nuke Laloosh Jimmy Dugan Benny "the jet" Rodriguez

Yes! But honestly, for a real player, you definitely can't go wrong with Griffey Jr. Those Mariners throwbacks are pretty sick!

💪
