This article explores the relationship over the years between Kansas City's major league baseball teams and the New York Yankees. According to the article, "Lou Gehrig played his final game in Kansas City, Yogi Berra's last home run came against Kansas City, and Babe Ruth barnstormed against the Monarchs. Hall of Fame Yankees manager Casey Stengel is from Kansas City and managed in the minor leagues here. Roger Maris occasionally told friends in New York he missed the easy living in Kansas City. Dick Howser and Charley Lau, two of the most important coaches in Royals history, also worked for the Yankees." The Yankee-Kansas City connection goes all the way back to 1937. Article details the relationship with the Kansas City Blues, Athletics, and Royals. Also includes article, "Teams Didn't Play Nice in '77" by Joe Posnanski.
