A history of Royals managers: Jim Frey

Have you ever known anyone who seems to be in the right place at the right time? Maybe they always luck into a great job. Maybe it’s the friend who always seems to walk away with the pretty girl. Someone who’s born under a lucky star, or as Steven Root says to Woody Harrelson’s character in No Country for Old Men, “you’ve led something of a charmed life, haven’t you?”
Former Royals manager Jim Frey was a bit like that. Frey was born in Cleveland, but later moved to Cincinnati, where one of his best friends (and high school baseball teammate) was Dandy Don Zimmer. He and Zimmer played for the Robert Bentley American Legion Post team which won the national American Legion championship in 1947, a game in which Frey drove in the winning run in the eighth inning of the championship game.
