SI 3 12 1984A Sudden Slide Into UncertaintyAfter a year of disappointments and cocaine busts, Kansas City puts on its new face1984 Royals: The Royals are still in the afterglow of a championship season, but they will enter a difficult and uncertain transition period where the team will say goodbye to veterans and hello to new young players. While many expect some dark days ahead, sometimes the transition can happen quicker than expected. One team that saw its rebuilding process happen sooner than expected was the 1984 Royals. They had few hopes of contending, but with a young crop of players, hung around .500 in a mediocre division and got hot enough to make the playoffs. While the season did not end in total success, they did set the stage for the championship club that would come a year later.Say hello to: Steve Balboni, Mark Gubicza, Dane Iorg, Danny Jackson, Charlie Leibrandt, Darryl Motley, Jorge Orta, Bret SaberhagenSay goodbye to: Willie Aikens, Mike Armstrong, Vida Blue, Cesar Geronimo, Don Hood, Amos Otis, Gaylord Perry, Steve Renko, Paul SplittorffAll-Stars: George Brett, Dan Quisenberry
