Billy Butler loves playing for the Kansas City Royals and would stay with the club forever if it were up to him.

Butler has played all 1,166 career games with the Royals -- a streak only nine active players can top.

Kansas City has an option on Butler's contract at $12.5 million for 2015, but there's no guarantee that he'll put on one of those sweet blue-on-white home jerseys again after the World Series.

"I think things will work out," Butler said. "They work out however they do after this season. I'm focused on the World Series at this time. This team is counting on me to do my job, and that's in the middle of the lineup, being an impact bat."
