Before Making a Fan’s Wish Come True, Patrick Mahomes Exchanges a Special Favor With MLB Star

Through the Make-A-Wish Foundation, a young fan had his wish come true. A special child named Jesua got to have a chat with his hero, Patrick Mahomes, virtually. The Chief’s teammates also sent Jesua some autographed items to remember the special occasion. But before this last Wednesday, Patrick Mahomes made a wish for himself too, when he witnessed a dazzling performance by MLB Star, the Reds rookie sensation.

Mahomes was so impressed that he approached him after the game and offered him a special exchange. The exchange was captured by Bally Sports Ohio reporter Jim Day, who revealed it during the broadcast. Perhaps, Mahomes wanted to turn rookie star Elly De La Cruz into a Chiefs fan and stir up some trouble in Cincinnati, as the Bengals are fierce rivals of the Chiefs.

An exchange between Chiefs and Cincinnati

Before they get back to work next month, the Kansas City Chiefs are having some fun in the off-season. The defending Super Bowl champions are gearing up for another run at the title in 2023, but Mahomes also have time for other hobbies and interests. One of them is baseball, as Patrick Mahomes showed on June 12, 2023. The Chiefs star quarterback attended a Royals theme game and met Elly De La Cruz, the Cincinnati Reds’ rookie sensation.

Mahomes was so impressed by De La Cruz’s talent and speed that he asked him for a signed bat and ball. De La Cruz wrote, “Fastest man in the world” on them for QB. In return, Mahomes gave De La Cruz a signed No. 15 jersey, but the young outfielder didn’t seem to know who he was. He admitted that he had only seen Mahomes play in “the Super Bowl”. However, just after this beautiful exchange, another gift is waiting for Patrick Mahomes.

Mahomes’ next gift in the queue?

After leading the Chiefs to their second consecutive Super Bowl title, Patrick Mahomes has a chance to add some more trophies to his collection at the 2023 ESPYS.
