Groupon Says the Kansas City Royals Won the World Series

This past Wednesday night, the San Francisco Giants toppled the “team of destiny” in the Kansas City Royals in one of the best World Series we’ve seen in a long time. The Giants would steal game one in Kansas City and the two teams would commence to throw proverbial haymakers at each other all series to the tune of seven games. I’m not quite certain the good folks at Groupon caught the final affair, however.

With a close contest throughout, the Giants finally decided to bring out the alien pitcher Madison Bumgarner to close out the Royals for good and on their field. Many a Royals’ fan walked away with upside down smiles and their nights ruined. Alas, it doesn’t have to be all dark clouds and fog. Alas, Groupon is here to either save the day or, make it that much worse depending on how you look at it.

Released by Groupon was paraphernalia that shows the Kansas City Royals as the 2014 World Series champions. This includes mugs and even tapestry towels. Now, we all know that merchandise like this is shipped ahead of time to merchants for preemptive purposes. However, it isn’t the norm that it’s released for sale should said team not win. Someone must really need the warehouse space.

Hope can be both terrific and depressing. It all comes down to what you’re hoping for. So if you’re a fan of the Royals and want to own a piece of history that never actually happened, take a gander here and here. Best case scenario, it’s a collector’s item. Worst case? It’s great for target practice.
