Hall of Fame Highlights
'Strikeouts, Sliders, & Cy' – The Royals Hall of Fame is honored to be working with our friends in Cooperstown on a feature exhibit exploring the history of Major League Baseball's highest pitching honor, the Cy Young Award. Named after Denton True 'Cy' Young, perhaps the greatest pitcher of all-time, the yearly award to baseball's best pitcher(s) was inaugurated in 1956. The exhibit includes artifacts from the careers of Cy Young Award winners including Hall of Famers Warren Spahn, Sandy Koufax, Greg Maddux, Randy Johnson, and Pedro Martinez. Artifacts from three Royals that have won the honor - Bret Saberhagen, David Cone, and Zack Greinke - are also featured in the exhibit.
Royals Hall of Fame Plaques - Learn about the accomplishments and contributions of all twenty-seven (27) members of the Royals Hall of Fame. The organizations' highest honor was first awarded in 1986 to Royals pitcher Steve Busby and outfielder Amos Otis, with the most recent inductee being 2015 World Series Manager Ned Yost.
