He played his entire 21-year career with the Royals and is one of only five players in MLB history with at least 3,000 hits, 300 home runs, and a career .300 batting average. Brett was a 13x All-Star, AL MVP (1980), and 3x AL batting champion (1976, 1980, 1990). Fun fact: The singer-songwriter Lorde was inspired by a National Geographic photo of George Brett wearing a Royals shirt to write her smash hit 2013 song "Royals." Item #HBCS001
