The Royals will have Jeremy Guthrie on the mound against Tim Hudson.
Hudson, 39, will be the oldest pitcher to ever start a Game 7 in the World Series when he toes the rubber in Kansas City tonight and the excitement for the start has brought back memories of his childhood.
"I'm no different than anybody else. As a kid, you think about it. As a big leaguer, you think about it," Hudson said. "You wonder if you're going to have an opportunity to do it. Sixteen years in the big leagues, I'm finally getting that chance. I can't wait to get out there and have some fun."
He has a bigger name than Guthrie, and far more accomplishments during his career, but the Royals feel strongly that Guthrie is a fine option to pitch them to their first World Series title since 1985. "We're confident," Kansas City's Billy Butler said. "Jeremy, every time out, gives us a chance to win."
It's unclear which hands are on deck for the Royals, but Giants manager Bruce Bochy said don't be surprised if ace left-hander Madison Bumgarner, who threw a complete game shutout in Game 5, makes an appearance tonight.
"We'll see where he's at and how he's doing out there," Bochy said. "I can't tell you exactly how far he could go or how many pitches he could go. I think you read him and see how he's doing out there."
