20 years after being drafted in the first round of the Major League Baseball draft, Alex Gordon is the 20th player in Kansas City franchise history to be inducted into the Royals Hall of Fame. Gordon was inducted Friday at Kauffman Stadium, just ahead of the game between the Royals and Athletics. The A’s would win the game, but the moment was all Gordon’s. “Never could I have imagined that I would be drafted by the team that I grew up cheering for,” Gordon said during the ceremony, donning a powder blue hall of fame jacket.
