So what's the deal with Frank White?
Just had 810 on and Kietzman was talking about trying to get Frank White to throw out the first pitch for one of the World Series games.

What is the issues between White and the Royals in the first place?

Hey, look at that. Keitzman is white knighting a guy that has problems with the Royals. Who would have guessed?

FTR, White throwing out a first pitch would be nothing but awesome, imo.

As a Kansas Citian I like Frank White about as well as any Royal. But if he is mad about not being offered Manager well thats ridicules. There are plenty of teams out there none took him in there fold as possible manager material. There is more to this than we will know. I doubt it was just money or manager. It may not be Glass at all and possibly Dayton.

He's about the only former player that would really get an already-pumped crowd to erupt. Brett is and will always be the #1 franchise superstar, but he's done it so many times, it's not a big deal seeing him go out there anymore.

Put me down as a Frank White basher as well.

I've been an avid Royals fan since Lou Piniella drove in the winning run on Opening Night in 1969, so I think I qualify as "knowledgeable" baseball fan. I found Frank White's monotone as a broadcaster to be be incredibly boring, and I got sick and tired of his constant whining about not getting the respect he felt he deserved.

Frank White is in the Royals Hall of Fame. He was respected. His problem is that he thought he should be idolized just as much as George Brett, and he resented the fact that he wasn't.

Frank White was an excellent player. But he was not in the same ballpark as George Brett.

We are discussing why he was let go by the Royals. That's hardly bashing

Probably is more we don't know, but I think he was pretty pissed about not being offered manager.

They had discussed him taking over as manager some day and they sent him to manage the AA team. He was there three years and the teams had good records. Then the Royals sign Buddy Bell and then Trey Hillman--not exactly top-line manager candidates.

Well I dont know what the past promised Frank but Dayton had no history with him and had every right to go with who he thought was best for his team. Frank knows baseball and there are no certainties. I still think it was something else.

Well, yeah, he had every right to go with whoever he wanted. I'm just saying that I think it was at least expressed to Frank that he'd get a real shot at the position. Otherwise, I don't think he would have spent three years in AA (and he did well there). And then to get passed over for Trey Hillman...you can see why he might be a little ticked.

But I think it was that + a few other things.

Frankly, I think he dodged a bullet not being manager of this team. Managing this team most of the last 20 years has been an absolute no-win situation and he'd surely have been fired after a few years.

There are a bunch of different articles you could probably dredge up on this. Here's a good one from Bob Nightengale.

http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/sport...als/56101496/1

I guess he actually went to a game in September, and went to the Wild Card game, so he's around. Who knows what's fact and fiction. I believe it was Mellinger who said White had a reputation of badmouthing the Royals in private.
