The elder Mahomes came over to sign autographs and I asked him who the young child was in the outfield, displaying such raw, dazzling athletic talent. He told me that was his son, and he was going to be a great baseball player some day.

"Mr. Mahomes, your son should play football. He looks like a quarterback to me."

Pat Sr. smiled and said "Yeah, but he'll never be a first round pick, fatboy."

Fun to think that I may have played a role in the rise of the Kansas City Chiefs dynasty.

“Mr Mahomes, please also keep your other son away from female restaurant owners.”
