I got to see Zack Greinke when he was with the Royals AAA club in Omaha. Made me a fan–the buzz around him was crazy back then–though admittedly he is not always the easiest guy to root for. He is a little prickly.

I had Zack Greinke sign this page out of the Omaha Royals 2004 program. It’s probably one of my favorite items and I regret not asking to sign a couple more, though it was clear even back them he did not love signing stuff. He was only in AAA for six games in 2004, going 1-1 with a 2.51 ERA/1.081 WHIP, before getting the call to the majors. He certainly had some bumps early in his career, particularly in 2005 when he led the league in losses after going 5-17 with a 5.80 ERA. Those days are long past, and he is in the twilight of a Hall of Fame career that includes: 219 wins, 2,809 K’s, a career 123 ERA+ to include two seasons of ERA+ north of 200, the 2009 Cy Young Award, six All-Star selections, six Gold Gloves, two Silver Sluggers, and two ERA titles.
