Motley Traded From Royals To Braves In Pitcher Swap

He had batted .203 with seven home runs and 20 RBI this season and earlier .245 career avg with 44 homers in five seasons. Motley learned of the trade by a phone call from Royals GM John Schuerholz. He noted right field has been a problem for the Braves.

Atwater Native Son Kingery Receives Recognition Night
Kansas City Royals rookie Mike Kingery, a former Atwater star, homered with 4-for-5 support from a hometown crowd of 708 of 1 128, but Kansas City fell 9-2 to Minnesota in the Metrodome. A clubhouse prank delayed his lineup reveal before coach John Wathan exposed the gag. Kingery, batting .250 with 3 HRs and 10 RBIs in 52 games, reflected on a career ups and downs and the honor of playing before his boyhood idols still active in Minnesota.
