SungWoo Lee, Kansas City Royals Baseball Fan

SungWoo Lee has been enthusiastic about Kansas City Royals baseball for over 25 years. He follows them from his home in Seoul, South Korea.

In August 2014, he travelled 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 sensation.

SungWoo later returned to the United States to support the Royals, and to attend the premiere of an ESPN documentary about him. 

An excellent article by Reeves Wiedeman about SungWoo appears in The New Yorker: SungWoo Lee, The New Yorker.
