Unearthed footage of Patrick Mahomes in … Phillies gear?

Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes will play in his third Super Bowl on Sunday, hoping to win the second championship of his already legendary profession. The 27-year-old must face off towards the favored Eagles, although, who’ve been probably the greatest groups all season lengthy within the NFL. Even although we’re fairly certain Mahomes desires nothing greater than to blow out the Eagles and take the Lombardi Trophy again residence to Kansas City, there have been some unusual pro-Philadelphia indicators popping up from the QB’s previous this week.

A 9-year-old Mahomes selected the Eagles to win the Super Bowl again in 2005, saying “The Eagles are a better team,” and, at this time, some outdated baseball footage of Mahomes was unearthed. In the video, he is sporting, sure, a full Phillies uniform.

The clips are from the 2012 Texas Scouts North-South All-Star Game Showcase at Minute Maid Park. As you in all probability already know at this level, Mahomes — the son of former Major Leaguer Pat Mahomes — was a fairly good baseball participant throughout his highschool days. He threw 16-strikeout no-hitters and was truly picked by the Tigers within the 2014 Draft.

But why was the high-schooler sporting Phillies gear at this 2012 exercise? Was that his favourite workforce? Is it STILL his favourite workforce? Does he secretly love all Philadelphia sports activities?

“As far as the jerseys go, it’s just totally random,” Reds scout and Texas Scouts president Paul Scott informed me in a telephone name. “We have two jerseys from every team and we just kind of match it up by size. I wish it was more interesting than that.”

So sure, sadly, there isn’t any actual “Oh-yeah-we-gotcha-Patrick” story right here. And I’m certain the Internet will not freak out and publish this picture all over the place saying something completely different.
