Al Davis & George Steinbrenner were great villains for us KC sports fans. But people may not know Davis visited Derrick Thomas in the hospital after his accident and the NY Post just ran this nice article about The Boss:

The Boss’ last, secret kindness to George Brett’s dad in Brooklyn

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A man who tormented George Steinbrenner’s team had a father who visited his native Brooklyn late in life to take a final look at New York, where he was raised, educated, worked and fathered three sons.
The year was 1992, and while the Royals-Yankees rivalry was nowhere near as hot as it was in the ’80s, there was no way The Boss or anybody associated with the Yankees would ever forget how George Brett punished the Yankees.

Brett, a career .307 hitter with 29 homers and 117 RBIs in 203 games against the Yankees, was a year away from retiring and waiting five more to enter Cooperstown on the first ballot.

Arthur Richman, who worked for Steinbrenner and was close with the greatest player in Royals history, told The Boss that Jack Brett was coming to see New York for the final time.

“Two weeks before he passed away, he went back to New York to see the old sights,’’ George Brett said of Jack, who attended Pace University, during the Royals’ amazing run to the World Series that starts Tuesday night with Game 1 at Kauffman Stadium against the Giants. “My brother Ken was there and Arthur must have said something to George because the whole time he was in New York, a Town Car was at his disposal, thanks to George.’’

Goose Gossage and Willie Randolph, a Brooklyn native, never heard of the Brett family’s connection to Brooklyn. But Steinbrenner lending a hand to Jack Brett didn’t surprise Gossage.

“George [Steinbrenner] had tremendous respect for gamers, and George [Brett] was a gamer,’’ Gossage said of the left-handed hitter who took Gossage into the upper deck of Yankee Stadium to finish the Yankees in the third game of the 1980 ALCS, won by the Royals, 3-0, and homered off him in the infamous “Pine Tar Game’’ in 1983 at the Stadium.

#Royals are braced for likelihood Kyle Zimmer will need shoulder surgery. He's scheduled to visit Dr. David Altchek.

Salt in the wound. Can't say this is surprising though.

This thread sucked the life out of us the past two games I'm afraid. You still have an opportunity to make this right by changing the thread title and mojo'ing us to victories in the final 2. DO WUT's RITE!!!!!!!

The Braves have hired Kevin Seitzer away from the Blue Jays to be their hitting coach.
