Superfans in Southern California still cheering, but for the Giants and the Royals
While the Dodgers' and Angels' runs have ended, many people in Southern California are still cheering for their teams in the World Series. It's just that their teams aren't from around here.
Superfans Karen Eshoo and Danny Slavens Jr are awaiting the outcome of the 2014 World Series. Counterclockwise from top left: Karen (right) pictured with her cousin April at Game 2 of the Division Series, the sweater Karen has wore since and left unwashed out of superstition, a ceramic robot that was gifted to her that's turned into robo-Giants fan, Danny Slavens, Jr, in enemy territory at the Golden Gate Bridge, Danny (right) with his brother Aaron Bradley at Game 3 of the World Series in AT&T Park, and Danny pictured with Aaron and friend Aaron Befort on the Golden Gate Bridge.

While the Dodgers' and Angels' runs have ended in the World Series, many people in Southern California are still cheering for their teams. It's just that their teams aren't from around here.

The San Francisco Giants and Kansas City Royals head into game six of the World Series, tonight. The Giants have a 3-2 lead, and could clinch the title tonight.

Karen Eshoo and Danny Slavens Jr will be on the edges of their seats, screaming their lungs out.

Both are here in Southern California, except Karen is a die-hard Giants supporter and Danny is a Royals superfan. They explain what they're doing as they watch their own teams battle out far away.
