Motley, a right-handed hitting outfielder, hit a 2-run home run for the Royals against the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 7 of the 1985 World Series to give Kansas City an early 2?0 lead. Motley's home run into the left field bleachers came on a 3?2 pitch, after he had hit the preceding 3?2 pitch to the same area in the stands, but foul. Motley, upon seeing the ball curve foul, slammed his bat into the home-plate area, breaking it. After selecting a new bat from the bat-boy, Motley delivered the fatal blow to the Cardinals. He also caught Andy Van Slyke's fly ball for the final out of the Series.
He also played 4 years for the Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks of the Northern League, from 1996 to 1999.
