Alex Gordon Inducted Into Royals Hall of Fame

Alex Gordon, a longtime Kansas City Royals outfielder and World Series champion, was officially inducted as the 31st member of the Royals Hall of Fame during a ceremony at Kauffman Stadium. Gordon, who was drafted second overall in 2005, spent his entire 14-year MLB career with the Royals. He earned eight Gold Gloves, two Platinum Gloves, and made three All-Star teams, with a signature moment being his game-tying home run in Game 1 of the 2015 World Series. The ceremony featured Royals players wearing pine tar streaks on their jerseys to honor Gordon's trademark look and included a heartfelt speech from Gordon expressing gratitude to fans. Gordon overcame challenges, including a demotion to Triple-A and a position shift from third base to left field, becoming one of the most beloved figures in franchise history. The induction was attended by fans, former teammates, and fellow Hall of Famers.
