Frank White Jr. spent 18 years with the Kansas City Royals. After his playing career, he has worked as a baseball coach and sports commentator, and has been elected to public office in Jackson County, Missouri.
White is one of only three MLB players, along with Ron Washington and U L Washington, who were products of the Royals Academy. Though initially disliked by Kansas City fans because he displaced the popular Cookie Rojas at second base, he went on to set a major-league record jointly with teammate George Brett, by appearing in 1,914 games together. The record stood until 1995, when it was broken by the Detroit Tigers' Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker.
