Baseball fans experienced an exciting moment when the Cleveland Guardians faced the Seattle Mariners in their first home game of the season. And NFL fans experienced a hilarious moment, courtesy of Chiefs’ TE Travis Kelce, a moment he might never live down.
Kelce, who made millions laugh with his SNL appearance, proved once more that he’s quite the funny guy. Even if this time, the joke wasn’t scripted. The TE made a special appearance on the Baseball pitch to throw the ceremonial first pitch for the Guardians’ season opener. Safe to say, it will go down in the Hall of Fame of the most comical first pitches in history, right up there with rumored girlfriend Megan Thee Stallion’s pitch.

NFL star, and Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce might be a two-time Super Bowl champion, but his pitch-throwing skills are a bit rusty. He recently threw the first pitch at a baseball game in Cleveland, and his showing was not the best. The ball hit the ground and bounced up, making the pitcher Shane Bieber run for cover. Promptly, Kelce ran over to Bieber and gave him a hug. His sad display sure cheered up Patrick Mahomes, who was one of the first people to react to the video on Twitter. Mahomes joked, “Ayyy lets give him another chance. ASAP!!!” suggesting that Kelce might need another opportunity to redeem himself on the baseball field.
Ayyy @Royals lets give him another chance. ASAP!!! https://t.co/v3RENRzcex

Some criticize Travis’ performance with humor and sarcasm.
And he charged home plate as if the game winning run was scoring from 3rd…. Or maybe 1st this was so bad….
