Still the GROAT (Greatest Royal Of All Time).

Not to be confused with former NL All Star Dick Groat.

I have no use for this guy what so ever , he is a complete arrogant ass. I use to work for the DMV in Lenexa and when it came time for him to renew his license he pretty much demanded that the office be totally cleared so just him was in the office. His whole approach was sickening. - Now Frank White o the other hand was such an awesome guy , GREAT personality , funny , polite. No closing the office so we could focus on just him.

People were constantly on Frank asking for autographs while he was trying to renew - he just say no problem , and finally did say hold on just a minute let me finish this up and I'll be glad to take pics and autographs for people - most respect for Frank - for this other guy/Brett psssst please he isn't squat - - RUDE RUDE RUDE the sad part when the office called the Governer to see what they wanted us to do - they told us to have other people leave the office and wait - -that's just total Bullshit

Maybe he has matured since the 1980s?

I seriously doubt it

I don’t think it’s okay to be to be rude but I’m not sure I’d like being constantly nagged in public for autographs and pictures. They always say you don’t want to meet your hero’s because they will disappoint you.

My sisters and I got his autograph before a game. He was very nice. We were being very charming!💃 awhile back!

Just going off comparison and the way they handles situations. - One I think it's insane that we ( workers ) had to alter out daily duties to accommodate him. He was no different then Frank White. I'm sure Frank didn't really get his jollies by signing autograph after autograph after autograph either people constantly harrassing him for pictures and such - - yet he is one of the most friendly people I've met very polite, not letting his fame go to his head feeling people needed to meet his needs. - -Brett just cam of as a complete jerk

Most funny George Brett story I've heard. Straight from the horse's mouth.

@tundrahok how’s the virus up your way?

@Crimsonorblue22 Sorry, I should have added a warning for those who aren't amused by potty humor. I'm still a junior high school boy.

@Crimsonorblue22 Only 7 deaths in Manitoba so far. People here are behaving, for the most part.

Our university announced classes will be taught online next fall. No travel currently allowed north of 53 degrees latitude, protecting remote northern communities. I may not get up to the tundra this year.

I hope you're staying safe and healthy!

@tundrahok I forgot, you teach? If so how did it go?

May 18, 2020 06:22 AM #14

@tundrahok I'm use to boys!

@Crimsonorblue22 Our semester ends a month before KU's, so I just had a few lectures to give. Sure have become a fan of Zoom! My research program is what's in jeopardy. I have several grad students who had planned to spend the summer in the Arctic.
