FOREVER ROYAL GEORGE BRETT: The Man, The Myth, The Legend 

I grew up watching Brett in Old Comisky Park on the South Side of Chicago.

Straight fucking water. If you know, you know

Funny thing about Brett's fight with Nettles in the 1977 playoff game. If you watch, Thurman Munson pushes through the pile to protect Brett. Brett later said Munson put his hands on Brett's face, in case any Yankees tried to take cheap shots at him. That was the respect players had for Brett.

What a great ball player.

One of the best.

You

I was born in '74, grew up watching him and he was my hero. "There he is, ladies and gentlemen, get a good look at him." First 20 years of my life, and I got to see him play in all 20!

my favorite all time player

My idol since 77. Provided sooo many thrilling moments!

I may have been born in 2000, but damn this legend will forever be my favorite player

Greatest clutch hitter in my lifetime. Sparky Anderson said he would walk Brett with the bases loaded rather than let him hit with the game on the line. Nuff said!

I’ve never been one to like videos regardless of the content. It just never occurs to me to do it. At the conclusion of this video, with dried up and a new year in my eye, I felt obligated to “like” my first video. WELL DONE!

Amazing that he and Mike Schmidt played for basically the same years, and both played for one team, and even faced each other in the World Series once. The two best ever at the same position at the same time. Personally I give Schmidt the edge with the 10 Gold Gloves and the HRs and the modern stats (better OPS and OBP) but I understand the case for Brett.

Sure did seem to play the Yankees a lot...

20 years 1973-1993. He rapidly developed into a good hitter winning the 1976 battling title. Then he clubbed 22 homers in 1977 and he was batting at or near .300 between 1976 and 1983. In 1980 Brett won the American League MVP and batted .390, a modern record for a third baseman. He actually flirted with .400. Brett's 1980 batting average of .390 is second only to Tony Gwynn's 1994 average of .394. In 1985, Brett had another brilliant season in which he helped propel the Royals to their second American League Championship. He batted .335 with 30 home runs and 112 RBI, finishing in the top 10 of the league in 10 different offensive categories. Brett then batted .370 in the World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals including a four-hit performance in Game 7. He was one of the best hitters in Royals history. He moved from Third base to first in 1989 and then later was DH. He won the batting title in three decades: 1976, 1980 and 1990.

Should have made the video 90 minutes instead of 9. So many great moments that didn't make it in here. He was a one-man wrecking crew in the '85 ALCS against the Jays.

Best third baseman ever. Combined average and power.

Royals should have been in at least one of those WS...77 or 78. They would have beaten the Dodgers. But the Yankees at that time were just too good. When you think KC Royals....you think George Brett! One of THE greatest player EVER!!

When you think of Kansas City, you think of the Plaza, barbeque and George Brett. He is a LEGEND, plain and simple!!!!!!

It’s water just straight water
