Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes is invested in the world of local sports, and as a minority owner of the Royals, the two-time MVP is one of their biggest fans.
The Royals’ miraculous season came to an end Thursday night when they lost 3-1 to the New York Yankees in Game 4 of the ALDS.
After a 106-loss season in 2023, many fans in Kansas City had low hopes for the Boys in Blue but, with the help of a greatly-improved pitching staff and star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr., the Royals made the playoffs for the first time since 2015.
After sweeping the Baltimore Orioles in the American League Wild Card Series, Kansas City’s season was cut short by the powerhouse Yankees.
The unfortunate ending didn’t stop Mahomes from congratulating the Royals on Twitter for an incredible season:
Great season @Royals! 💪🏽

As the Royals head into their offseason, Mahomes will have plenty of time to prepare for the San Francisco 49ers as the Chiefs look to keep their undefeated streak alive in Week 7.
