**Patrick Mahomes’ Seven-Word Message After Royals Make Playoffs**
Kansas City Chiefs quarterback and reigning NFL MVP Patrick Mahomes may be a football star, but his love for Kansas City extends far beyond the gridiron. After the Kansas City Royals clinched a spot in the MLB playoffs, Mahomes quickly took to social media to show his support, sending out a simple but energetic seven-word message: “Let’s go! KC’s taking over again!”
Mahomes, who has solidified himself as a fan favorite in Kansas City due to his on-field heroics with the Chiefs, also has a well-documented passion for the city’s other sports teams, including the Royals. His excitement for the Royals’ postseason berth reflects not only his personal enthusiasm for the team but also the pride that Kansas City fans feel as their baseball team returns to October action.
### A City United in Sports
Mahomes’ message came at a pivotal moment for the Royals, who, after several years of rebuilding, are back in the playoffs for the first time since their 2015 World Series title. For fans, Mahomes’ enthusiastic tweet captured the spirit of the entire Kansas City community, which has experienced a resurgence in sports success over the past decade. The Chiefs’ rise to dominance under Mahomes, highlighted by two Super Bowl championships, has been complemented by the Royals’ effort to reestablish themselves as contenders in Major League Baseball.
This newfound success in both football and baseball has reignited the passion of Kansas City sports fans, who are used to seeing their teams compete at the highest level. Mahomes’ brief but powerful message encapsulated the feeling that the city of Kansas City is once again taking center stage in the world of sports.
### Mahomes’ Connection to Kansas City
Though he’s primarily known for leading the Chiefs to NFL glory, Mahomes has deep ties to baseball. His father, Pat Mahomes Sr., was a Major League Baseball pitcher, and Mahomes himself grew up around the game, even playing baseball at a competitive level before focusing on football. This connection to the sport makes his support for the Royals all the more meaningful.
In 2021, Mahomes became a minority owner of the Royals, further strengthening his bond with the team and the city. At the time, Mahomes expressed his excitement for being involved with the franchise, saying he was “honored to be a part of this amazing organization.” His continued involvement and vocal support reflect his desire to see the Royals succeed both on and off the field.
### The Royals’ Playoff Journey
The Royals’ return to the playoffs marks a significant achievement for the franchise, which has gone through a period of transition in recent years. After winning the 2015 World Series, the team faced several challenging seasons as they focused on rebuilding through player development and key trades. Their postseason appearance this year is a testament to their perseverance and growth.
With Mahomes cheering them on, the Royals will have an added layer of motivation as they seek to make a deep playoff run. His influence, both as a Kansas City icon and part-owner of the team, only adds to the excitement surrounding the Royals’ journey.
As Mahomes’ message suggests, Kansas City’s sports scene is once again at the forefront, with the city’s teams aiming for continued success. Whether it’s on the football field or the baseball diamond, Kansas City is, as Mahomes put it, “taking over again.”
