Baseball's royal team

blog-0482500001526786681.jpgIn honor of the royal wedding, I thought I would provide baseball fans with their own version of royalty and like all royal families some are not so great. But they are interesting. I welcome other suggestions! I do not have owners or umps. Do you know any that would fit here? I did consider Chief Bender for the rotation, but decided that the American Indian would still not make the official royalty list – I am sorry to say. There are some Hall of Famers and some that are hanging on by name only.

Someone on my Facebook added Marv Throneberry.  I never thought about thrones.  Another person had catcher Hal King - one of his childhood favorites.
 

Considering Buckingham Palace we could add Fred Buckingham and his -0.2 WAR or Ed Buckingham who pitched three innings in 1895 for the Senators at age 19.
