Kansas City, World Champions

The Brian Lehrer Show | Nov 4, 2015

Kansas City and New York City went head to head in the World Series and we all know who won. Now, KCUR host Gina Kaufmann and Brian talk about all the other ways the two cities stack up.

And yes, Brian will make good on his promise to carry around a KCUR tote bag for the month of November as a symbol of defeat.

"This is like if Mardi Gras only happened in New Orleans once every 30 yrs." @GinaKCUR describes yesterday's @Royals parade in Kansas City.
