  5. Traveled all the way from Texas to see him be inducted into the RHOF! Two best memories are bottom of the ninth game 7, 2014 WS. Screaming at my tv as gordo hit a triple and bottom of the ninth game 1, 2015 WS with that game trying HR. 4 EVER ROYAL

  8. Thank you for all the memories. Thank you for making me fall in love with this team. Thank you for the winning childhood I had, all the bragging rights you guys gave me. Love you gordo.

  10. Mr. Gordon. Thanks for the memories brother the way you played the way you portrayed yourself as a Royal the incredible way u help me teach my son. How to play the game from your work ethic to your hustle to how to track a fly ball hitting mechanics hell it was like having a professional baseball player right next year if your son came up with a question that you had no clue how to help your son be a better ball player in the better person.
    Because all I had to do pick up my tablet type in YouTube, Alex Gordon I don’t know how many hours my son would watch your videos the same video over and over 100 times just to get that muscle memory in that exact mechanics of the high kick throw .
    OK I’m sounding a little crazy here. I just want you to know that there’s a lot of people think you’re really good people.
    Thanks 🙏 and if you happen to see this, you need to give your mama hug. Tell her it’s from Todd and Olathe Cancer Center, his son, Trae.

  11. I was able to go to the game on Friday and see him inducted. That was so cool.. I admit I didn’t even start paying attention to his career until 2014 World Series, which I didn’t even know about them being in the World Series until I saw a banner hung by my pastor at the time. he is a big royals fan (so are his siblings). but anyway, I also was very sad when they lost game seven but I paid attention to the playoffs the next year of course with a better outcome. In 2016 I started watching full-time. I even got his autograph at Fan Fest in 2018.
