While being an MLB star himself, it has not stopped Pat Mahomes Sr from being proud of his son’s achievements in the NFL. A few years ago, Fox4 interviewed Mahomes’ dad and asked him about how he feels raising a son who is making a name for himself in football. They also went on to talk about how the quarterback’s father wears the same clothes on the sidelines while attending his son’s football games. The former MLB pitcher does this so that his son can continue his winning streak on the field. Pat Mahomes Sr. went on to elaborate on how baseball players are generally  “superstitious”, and how following this superstition has been working out for his son.

As the 2X SB champion now gears up to prepare for a new season in the next few days, fans can be sure to once again catch a glimpse of the Mahomes clan cheering on the QB from the sidelines.
