1969 Topps Kansas City Royals Autosby Calleyoop - 12 cards (Last updated on Mar 5, 2022) |
The 1969 season was the first for the franchise, and the team finished 69-93 and fourth in the American League West Division. Seven short years later, the Royals represented the West Division in the ALCS against the New York Yankees.
My focus for this set is players that appear as a Royal on their baseball cards and actually played for the team during 1969. Exceptions have been made on a case by case basis for players that made special contributions to the team (e.g., Lou Piniella - AL Rookie of the Year).
Latest Update: Added Bill Butler
