The Royals and Star Trek

With today's movie premier, Butchwaglar asks what if the Royals acted out Star Trek in the clubhouse just for fun.

Captain Kirk (George Brett) – Really, Brett is truly the only choice. He is the franchise icon. He is the legend. He is the favorite player of most Royals fans born after he played, much like Kirk is their favorite captain. The captain showed he was never afraid to work the margins of the rules, bending the prime directive as he saw as appropriate or using just a tad too much pine tar. In the end we may debate Kirk vs. Picard, but Brett vs. Sweeny conversations always end swiftly.

Spock (Kevin Appier) – Really, did anyone ever see him smile. No really! Ever! Seriously!

Doctor McCoy (Hal McCrae) – Doctor Hal is fiery, cranky and loyal. He may not be a priest, social worker or preschool teacher, but he is still delivering the medicine fixing the swings of the hated cardinals.

Uhuru (Johnny Damon) – So pretty. Really, have you seen that hair!

Sulu (Bo Jackson) – Sulu, I mean Bo, was both a leader and a follower. He was able to both move the team and follow the leadership of his captain. His star was one clearly on the rise, captaining his own starship and being an all-star.

Chekov (Greinke) – He’s young. He’s talented. He’s at times conflicted. He will forever be paranoid about bugs crawling into his head.

Scotty (Whitely Herzog). Whitey gave it all

Redshirts (Calvin Pickering, Mark Quinn, Ken Harvey) – Thanks for coming boys. You played your roles, but were always expendable to our scriptwriters so your deaths were inevitable.


Your Fired
