The Kansas City Royals announced their World Series roster today, and there is a surprising addition.
The team will carry 20-year old top prospect Raul Mondesi and leave off speedster Terrance Gore. The team is concerned that second baseman Ben Zobrist may have to leave during the series to be with his wife who is expecting to give birth any day now and was said to have had Braxton Hicks contractions during the ALCS. Mondesi gives the Royals a slick-fielding middle infielder to backup Christian Colon, who would likely start in Zobrist's absence.
