“He grew up in the clubhouse, he was always around the game, and he was always the best player on his baseball team..so I always thought he was gonna be a baseball player.” Patrick Mahomes Sr. said about his son, who is now a 3-time Super Bowl Champion. Mahomes, who once used to ace the diamond with his pitching skills at high school, ended up sticking to football due to his commitment to Texas Tech. He may not have walked the same path as his dad, who was a professional baseball pitcher for 11 years, but Mahomes Sr. is making sure he doesn’t allow the dust to settle on his old baseball gloves.

Pat Sr. is slated to head back to his baseball days. No, not for stepping back on the mound. Instead, the former MLB pitcher who used to terrorize batters with his insane throwing motion is scheduled to appear at a sports card convention. The Ball Park, a baseball-themed restaurant in Minnesota, will be hosting Pat Mahomes for a meet-and-greet with fans. Their official Instagram page shared a story on Monday announcing the date of Mahomes Sr. dropping by to take some photos and sign a few autographs.

On Sunday, April 13th, 2025, from 1 to 3 PM, the former Minnesota Twins pitcher will be signing memorabilia from his time on the diamond. So, it presents a cool opportunity for baseball fans who have always wanted to meet Mahomes Sr. And whatever trouble he could be going through right now, you can’t take away the fact that Pat Mahomes had a solid 11-yar career as an MLB pitcher.

He made his MLB debut for the Twins back in 1992. Then, went to play for the Sox, the Mets, the Rangers, and the Cubs before finally ending his MLB run with the Pirates. Mahomes Sr. logged in 308 total appearances, starting 63 of them. At the time of his final season, he boasted a 42-39 record with 452 strikeouts in 709 innings pitched. Apart from aceing the diamond in America’s top Pro leagues, Mahomes’ Dad also spent two seasons in Japan. He played for the Yokohama BayStars in Japan’s Pro league.

Now, coming back to his upcoming appearance at the Ball Park in Minnesota, he won’t be coming alone. Pat will be joined by his former Twins teammate, Chuck Knoblauch, at the table. Surely, you can’t miss out on the chance of meeting two Twins legends coming together under the same roof again. Well, this wouldn’t have been possible without the judge’s permission. At least you won’t have witnessed Mahomes Sr. in Minnesota because of his DWI troubles.

Patrick Mahomes Sr. begging to Texas judge pays off

Last year, Mahomes Sr. pleaded guilty to his third DWI offense. This led to him receiving a five-year probation sentence with intense supervision for the first year. Now, after getting invited to attend a sports card convention in Minnesota, Mahomes Sr. went to Texas court. He was reportedly begging the Texas judge to get permission to leave the state while still on probation. This is something Mahomes Sr. is not allowed to do. His probation sentence doesn’t permit him to leave the state until he abides by some additional rules. Only if he agrees to take a urine test upon his return to the state will Mahomes Sr. be granted his permission.

Considering he will be in Minnesota on Sunday, he may have agreed to this clause. This will allow him to free up his mind from those recent DWI troubles he had been going through. Now, this isn’t the first time he had been allowed to leave his state. Mahomes Sr. was also captured in New Orleans to watch his son in Super Bowl LIX.

The hope is that Mahomes Sr. finds some happiness during his Minnesota visit. This might help him forget those personal troubles and remember how he was a motivated athlete like his son.
