Iconic Kansas City & San Francisco Baseball Bars Hook Up Fan To Fan Live Streaming TV For Series

SAN FRANCISCO and KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 21, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- If you're in the closet about your love of the Kansas City Royals, God forbid, a San Francisco bar is encouraging you to come out.

Lefty O'Doul's, off Union Square, is dedicating a corner of its Geary Street bar to a live video feed from a sister pub in Kansas City, where the Giants open the World Series against the Royals on Tuesday. The arrangement gives Kansas City fans 1,800 miles from their team a chance to interact, through camera and microphone, with the hometown crowd.

Homesick fans have chance to experience the fall classic almost as if they were back home, through video feeds that will be streaming live and nonstop from each other's bars throughout the period of the series.

The feeds will provide a fun and free alternative for Royals and Giants fans who not only didn't get World Series tickets to Ewing M. Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City or AT&T park in San Francisco, but long for a taste of what's going on back in the stomping grounds of their favorite teams.

In San Francisco, Lefty O'Doul's has created a "Walsh's Corner" in the back room of the legendary Union Square sports bar, and owner Nick Bovis is inviting visiting Royals fans to come catch the excitement of the series through the hook-up with their hometown Walsh's Corner Cocktail baseball bar.

In Kansas City, owner Pat Walsh has created a corresponding "Lefty O'Doul's" spot in his famous Walsh's Corner, and has graciously invited all visiting San Francisco Giants fans to come by and connect with home.

The web casts will allow fans in both towns to not just see what's going on the rival bars, but to talk live to each other as well. The web cams will be turned on live during regular business hours until the World Series is done. Count on a few friendly fan jabs back and forth over the 1,800-mile Internet video connection.

The live feed runs during business hours of 7 am until midnight Pacific time every day of the series.
