SungWoo Lee - Kansas City Royals Fan



SungWoo Lee has been enthusiastic about the Kansas City Royals baseball team for 20 years. He follows the team from his home in Seoul, South Korea.


In August, 2014, he traveled halfway around the world to Kansas City, to see the Royals play in Kauffman Stadium. He was warmly welcomed by fans and players, and quickly became a cult hero.

SungWoo returned in September, 2015, to support the Royals, and to attend the premiere of an ESPN documentary made about him.

An excellent article about SungWoo, written by Reeves Wiedeman, appears in The New Yorker. Read it here.
