Did the Royals' playoff run prove they're back, or was it just a lucky season?

The NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes doesn’t love only football, he played baseball during his teenage. And boy, he was good at it. Years later, when he made it big in the sports world, he acquired a stake in KC Royals as a move to spread his hold in the town. The Chiefs quarterback often attends their games and is a pretty vocal supporter. This year gave them enough to celebrate the team’s win.

This year, the MLB team played wonderfully. After winning 86 games, they secured a berth in the playoffs. The fans and the NFL veteran were pumped up. Though the team lost to the NY Yankees, the tough battle was enough to earn respect. Mahomes took to Twitter to congratulate them.

The game was historical in the sense that Royal qualified for playoffs for the first time since 2015. Both teams battled all night but lost 1-3 in the American League Division Series at Kauffman Stadium. Their courage showed during the game, but eventually, they lost, leaving fans disappointed. The game was exciting and got physical at one point.

After the Royals won game 2, Yankees’ third baseman Jazz Chisholm Jr. said that they got lucky. His comments irked Royals infielder Maikel Garcia. When Garcia was tagged out by Yankees’ shortstop Anthony Volpe, Chisholm said something to him. Both players grabbed each other and started fighting. The fellow players could separate them.

All-in-all, the season was pleasant. Patrick Mahomes did find some positives in the team. He’s enjoying the bye week.

While talking to reporters after the MNF game win against the Saints, Patrick Mahomes talked about his bye week plans and said, “I’ll be spending most of my time running around with the kids. It won’t be a lot of relaxation, but I’m looking forward to it.” A legend himself, the Grim Reaper is always game-ready. And is leading his team majestically in the season.
