The Kansas City Royals announced Friday that Alex Gordon has been elected to the team’s Hall of Fame and will be inducted in a ceremony on June 13 before the Royals play the A’s at Kauffman Stadium.
Gordon, 41, will be the 31st inductee of the Royals Hall of Fame and will receive a blue jacket, joining his former manager Ned Yost, who was inducted in 2023.
Gordon was selected No. 2 in the 2005 MLB Draft out of Nebraska and was with the Royals organization for his entire professional career.
He was the league standard when it came to outfield defense, manning left field at Kauffman Stadium for a decade and winning two Platinum Glove awards on top of his eight Gold Gloves. He put together some good offensive years, ending his career with a .257 average with 190 home runs and 749 RBI.
