Kansas City Chiefs star QB Patrick Mahomes, at only 27 years of age, is one of the most feared quarterbacks in the sport’s history. Adding to his numerous accolades, he recently won the MVP award for the second time in his six-year career in the National Football League. And now, he is gearing up for his third appearance in the Super Bowl, starting today at 6.30 pm EST. Notably, the Chiefs will go against the Philadelphia Eagles at the University of Phoenix Stadium. 

Joining the millions of people in wishing the star quarterback all the best is the MLB team, New York Mets. Mahomes must have had some fond memories with the Mets and their former stadium.
