Baseball Hall of Famer George Brett named Kansas Grand Marshal: Major League Baseball Hall of Famer and former Kansas City Royal George Brett has been named Grand Marshal for the May 7 Go Bowling 400 at Kansas Speedway. Brett was also one of the first people in line to purchase Kansas Speedway season tickets when tickets went on sale before the facility opened. "George Brett is an iconic figure not just in Kansas City but to sports fans across the country and I'm excited to have him take part in the Go Bowling 400," said Kansas Speedway President Patrick Warren. "George has an impressive resume, winning a World Series title with the Royals, a Gold Glove, an MVP award, and I'm thrilled that Kansas Speedway was able to add another accomplishment to this already extraordinary list - Grand Marshal." Brett, who played his entire career with the Royals organization, is considered one of baseball's greatest clutch hitters and was chosen Royals Player of the Year eight times. The 13-time All-Star was named the 1980 American League MVP and won a Gold Glove in 1985. He was the first player in Major League history to win batting titles in three decades (1976, 1980 and 1990) and the first with career totals of more than 3,000 hits, 300 home runs, 600 doubles, 100 triples and 200 stolen bases. In 1999, Brett was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame with the fourth-highest vote percentage ever recorded (98%).
