Frank White joins T-Bones, shuts door on Royals

If you can’t get along with an organization president who is only there because he is the son of a millionaire owner, then I don’t know who you can get along with.

There is a permanence to White’s words that didn’t exist before, setting up an uncomfortable summer in which the Royals will play host to baseball’s All-Star Game while one of two players with a retired number wants nothing to do with them.

“I’m just glad I’m not there anymore,” he says. “I’m healthier. My blood pressure is stable. I’m laughing a lot more, I’m having more fun. This is good. This is good for me.”

He puts most of the blame for his ugly relationship with the Royals on club president Dan Glass, who did not return messages for this column.

According to White, Glass told him last year that he had done “irrevocable damage” to the Royals “that can’t be repaired.” White thinks he was fired from broadcasting because Glass was “(ticked) off I didn’t let them step on my neck anymore,” and also says that he did more work for less money than the Royals paid George Brett.

White says he’ll write a book someday, but for now he will coach anonymous players in small stadiums and swear that he has no regrets of how he handled his time with the Royals.
