Dane Iorg played for the Royals from 1984-1985 and is best remembered for delivering the game winning pinch hit in Game 6 of the 1985 World Series. A left handed utility man and the brother of former MLB’er Garth Iorg, Dane was originally a 1st round selection by the Phillies (1971) out of BYU and played parts of 10 seasons at the Big League level for Philadelphia, St. Louis (where he hit .529 in the winning 1982 World Series), Kansas City and San Diego. He recently joined Dave O to tell incredibly funny and passionate baseball stories, from “less than ideal” minor league facilities to his admiration for Whitey Herzog in St. Louis, to a funny story about Garth’s wife during the 1985 ALCS and of course, many, many questions about Game 6 of the World Series. Truly a must listen for any Royals fan. (Photo Courtesy Kansas City Royals)

I always think of Kansas City Royals from the early days.
