This is a ceremonial resolution honoring John Wathan, a longtime Kansas City Royals player and staff member, on his induction into the Royals Hall of Fame. Wathan spent 47 years with the organization in various roles including as a player from 1976 to 1985, manager from 1987 to 1991, and later as a coach, broadcaster, scout, and mentor. He was a member of the Royals' 1985 World Series championship team and holds the Major League Baseball record for stolen bases by a catcher with 36 in a single season. The resolution does not authorize any funding or create any policy changes; it simply expresses the House's congratulations and recognition of Wathan's career achievements and his impact on the Kansas City Royals organization and community.
