Kansas City Chiefs superstar quarterback Patrick Mahomes was at Kauffman Stadium Wednesday night to watch the Kansas City Royals take on the New York Yankees in Game 3 of an American League Division Series.
And when his squad tied the game in the bottom of the fifth inning at 2-2, Mahomes went ballistic in his suite to the point of screaming in the face of a former teammate wearing Yankees gear.
Mahomes, who owns a 1% stake in the Royals, was in a suite alongside wife Brittany and other friends and family to see if Kansas City could take a 2-1 lead over the Yankees in the ALDS.

New York went up first in this one, but the Royals, with two outs in the fifth inning, gave the murmuring crowd life when Kyle Isbel doubled home Adam Frazier and Michael Massey smoked a double past the glove of a diving Juan Soto to tie the game.
With the crowd in a frenzy, Mahomes was jumping up and down in his box and ran over to his former teammate, wide receiver Gehrig Dieter, to rub it in his face. Dieter reacted by making a fake fighting stance.
