Was confused for a second, because I was thinking of Roy White as a Royal.  Was thinking of Frank I guess.
Yeah, Roy White seems to represent everything about baseball that, somehow, has just seemed to elude the Mariners (since 1976) - being a Cartelua, being better than people realized you were, being super professional, being a "gamer," whatever it is...
Funny thing about his B-Ref.com page.  That was long, long before people appreciated OBP, or defense in left field, or OPS+.  But somehow the Yankees knew they had a terrific left fielder.  I wonder how?
