Bo Jackson, Deion Sanders… Patrick Mahomes?
If his one at-bat at Kauffman Stadium shows anything, it’s that the Kansas City Chiefs’ star quarterback has some skill in another sport.
The Kansas City Royals hosted a celebrity softball game at their stadium Friday night, and Mahomes topped the charts.

Mahomes is probably the most beloved athlete in Kansas City right now, maybe ever. He led the Chiefs to their third Super Bowl victory in franchise history in February.
So naturally he had to put on a show.
During the game, Mahomes hit an absolute missile for a home run.
Mahomes has some baseball blood in him. His father, Pat, pitched for six MLB teams during an 11-year career.
Primarily a reliever, the older Mahomes spent time with the Minnesota Twins, Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates, finishing his career with an ERA of . 5.47.

Patrick Mahomes was one of the top prospects in the 2014 MLB Draft, but he was already committed to playing football at Texas Tech. The Detroit Tigers drafted him in the 37th round, but he was never signed.
The younger Mahomes played baseball through his sophomore year of college while starting out as quarterback for the football team. He threw a no-hitter with 16 strikeouts his senior year in high school.
