Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce could only laugh after his horrible ceremonial first pitch prior to Friday’s baseball game between the Seattle Mariners and Cleveland Guardians.
It’s good that Kelce can laugh at himself. Because chances are, he’s going to hear about it from his teammates in Kansas City. One of them, Patrick Mahomes, has already weighed in.
Upon seeing Kelce’s first pitch, Mahomes could only say “Ayyyyyy bruhhhhhhhhh” before using a bunch of laughing emojis.
Ayyyyyy bruhhhhhhhhh 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀💀🤣🤣🤣 @tkelce https://t.co/v3RENRzcex

And he charged home plate as if the game winning run was scoring from 3rd…. Or maybe 1st this was so bad….

Kelce replied to Mahomes, doing what any veteran athlete does. He blamed it on the popcorn.
Lmao aye man… shouldn’t have ate that popcorn 🍿😬

Mahomes later tweeted to the Kansas City Royals, suggesting that Kelce get another chance.
Ayyy @Royals lets give him another chance. ASAP!!! https://t.co/v3RENRzcex
