25 Days Before ‘The Match’, 2x MVP Patrick Mahomes Named ‘Baby Goat’ and Pitted ‘The Next Bo Jackson’

In the 21st century, there are only a handful of professional athletes who played in the NFL league and the MLB at the same time. Deion Sanders is the only name that comes to one’s mind when asked about an athlete who dominated both and is still associated with football. But did you know about how Patrick Mahomes almost became a baseball league player? He was drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the 37th round of the 2014 season, but he decided not to pursue that career path.

The star QB of the Chiefs has grown up playing baseball and almost went pro. So, it’s no wonder that he dominated in a recent event when he was pitted against other celebrities in a softball match.

Patrick Mahomes can do it all

Even during the OTA training, Mahomes spends his free time practicing other sports. He has also been known for his golf practice with his buddy Travis Kelce almost on a regular basis. And it’s not like they are messing around. They are about to face two big NBA stars in ‘The Match’ at the end of this month. During all this chaos with his practice and looking after his family, he still manages to attend the softball game, and not so surprisingly, dominate it. Mahomes posted a picture of him swinging a baseball bat on the ground, on Instagram.

Mahomes’ picture was posted with the caption, “Big Slick” the charity fundraiser that organized the event. He was joined by big A-lister Hollywood stars, such as Jason Sudeikis, Paul Rudd, Rob Riggle, and many more. They all played exceptionally well, but Mahomes was the one who dominated the entire event.

The 2 times MVP was the star of the show. His excellent performance was so captivating that people labeled him as ‘The Baby Goat’. Some people also compared him with Bo Jackson, who also dominated both fields in football and baseball.

The baby GOAT’s beautiful performance and the fan reactions

Mahomes’ no-look catch and the pop-fly ball catch were praised all over the internet. And adding to the list, he even hit a home run, which left the entire crowd flabbergasted. In the comment section of his picture, fans were showering him with love and appreciation.

One of the fans wrote,
“All we do is win!!”

Some fans admired his stance in the photo and commented,

“He had that Ken Griffey jr stance and swing”

One of the fans jokingly said,

“Man’s already on the side quests😭”

Others wrote,

“That’s our QB 😁”

“King 👑”

The charity event was meant for the Children’s Mercy Hospital. Mahomes was a really good sport in the whole thing and made a few laughs along the way. It’s wonderful how big celebrities like him came together to help the ones in need. This organization has raised millions over the years, and with the help of these celebrities and athletes, they will raise more in the future.
