Well this is one for the record books. Coming hot of the tail of a five-game World Series win, Kansas City fans are eager to keep the World Champion family together. The players Zobrist and Gordon have contracts that expired at the end of the 2015 season. That has their fans worried the franchise won’t be ablle to pony up the cash to keep them around:

“We love our Royals and not only have the best team in baseball.. but the best FANS in baseball!

We’re also in the 2nd smallest market in MLB, so the funds we have to keep our players is limited due in part to lower media contracts with Radio and TV.  For example: The Red Sox, Yankees and Dodgers all get over $100 million a year from billing in their tv networks.  The Royals get $20mil.   There is no fault of the Royals or their broadcast partners, it’s all based on the size of the market.

Did you get $10, $100, $1000 worth of enjoyment from this team..when you couldn’t see them live?”

If they hit their $1 million mark the kick starters promise to work with the Royals team to keep the players in town–but if that doesn’t work they’ll just give all the money to charity. That’s pretty incredible. You can find out more by visiting their page here.
