Patrick Mahomes has always had a fan in his dad, Patrick Mahomes Sr.
Before he was known as the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback’s father, Pat had quite a successful athletic career of his own.
Pat played major league baseball from 1992 to 2003, pitching for a number of teams, including the Minnesota Twins, Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates. He also played in Japan for the Yokohama BayStars.
Now, he’s in the stands at NFL games cheering on his son — but hopefully not seated next to Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift.

When asked during an interview on WFAN Sports Radio’s “Evan & Tiki” show if Pat wanted to watch the game with Jason Kelce and the pop star, he joked, “I hope not.”
