Whitey Herzog the most suc cessful and popular manager in the 11year history of Kansas City Royals Joe Burke does two things both bad He invites speculation and wild rumor How dark and hide ous could Herzogs sins have been Surely no manager who wins 410 games and three divi sion championships in years while building immense popu larity among players fans and media could be released on whim Or could he Thats bad thing No For Burkes sake the Royals better not waste any time regaining the American League West title they just yielded by three games to Cali fornia Angels If they dont win next year it will be commonly accepted that Herzog was fired because owner Ewing Kauftman just didnt like him Should attend ance plummet general man ager Burke comes off as bun gling milquetoast Herzog in
