SOUTH KOREAN PRO BASEBALL FAN LEE SUNG-WOO VISITS HIS BELOVED TEAM THE KANSAS CITY ROYALS–AND GIVES THE TEAM A BOOST TO FIRST PLACE IN THE AMERICAN LEAGUE WITH AN 8 GAME WINNING STREAK

Lee Sung-woo, a 38-year-old South Korean office worker, has become an online sensation after visiting Kansas City in the U.S. at the invitation of its pro baseball team the Royals early this month.
He was given a hero’s welcome in the city and drew a great deal of attention from citizens and Royals’ officials, players and fans.
The club invited him as he has been an ardent fan of the Royals for nearly two decades despite having no connection with the U.S. pro baseball team or the city….

 

…..Oddly enough, the long-frustrated Royals won eight games straight and moved into first place in the American League Central division during Lee’s time in Kansas City.
