2004 Kansas City Royals season

It involved the Royals finishing fifth in the American League Central with a record of 58 wins and 104 losses.

The team had been picked by many sporting magazines to win the AL Central following their third-place finish in 2003.

Catcher Benito Santiago and outfielder Juan González both played very few games for the boys in blue.
