Stillwell ended up going to KC, which had been weak at SS (all due respect to Biancalana), and made his only ASG in '88. My friends and I loved him, though he kind of regressed over the next two years and ended up playing his way out of town. But he was a supporting cast member on the '89 Royals, the second best KC team of my childhood (after the 85 champs), which had the bad timing of being in the same division with a juggernaut A's team in an era without wild cards. So, I'll always like the guy.

I will, too. And Biancalana, but for purely Letterman-esque, baseball card nostalgia reasons.
The Wild Card would have served the Royals well in 1989. I'm still glad I grew up without it, though. :)
