Royals Aim For .500 in 1971 Spring
In Fort Myers Florida the Kansas City Royals set a target of .500 ball for the 1971 season. Lou Piniella, AL Rookie of the Year in 1969, leads a lineup with Amos Otis and Bob Oliver but questions linger on power and pitching. Manager Bob Lemon recalls injury-plagued 1970s and the need for healthy starters as Wally Bunker, Roger Nelson, Bill Butler, and Mike Hedlund recover to bolster the rotation.
