George Brett is a former third baseman for the Kansas City Royals. He graduated from El Segundo High School in 1971 and was drafted by the Royals in the second round (29th overall) of the 1971 baseball draft. Brett's 3,154 career hits are the most by any third baseman in major league history, and 15th all-time. Brett is one of four players in MLB history to accumulate 3,000 hits, 300 home runs, and a career .300 batting average with the others being Hank Aaron, Willie Mays, and Stan Musial. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1999. Brett retired after the 1993 season; in his final at-bat, he hit a single up the middle against Rangers closer Tom Henke and scored on a home run by now teammate Gaetti. Brett's #5 was retired by the Royals. His was the first player number retired by the team. He was a 13-time All-Star. Brett then batted .370 in the 1985 World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals including a four-hit performance in Game 7. The Royals again rallied from a 3-1 deficit to become World Series Champions for the only time in Royals history.
