Football Star's First Pitch Goes Wild and Hurls Teammate into Dugout Before Throwing Him Hug
- Travis Kelce was honored to throw out the ceremonial first pitch of the Cleveland Guardians' home opener but his throw threatened to knock 2020 Cy Young winner Shane Bieber into the next century.
- Twitterverse exploded with jokes at Kelce's expense but Guardians' ace Bieber appeared unharmed after Kelce tackled him with a bear hug of apology.
- Being a three-sport high school athlete did not prepare Kelce for the Major League mound and his football prowess was of little use on the diamond.
- Kelce's twin brother Jason took to their podcast to tease the Super Bowl champion about his wayward throw while urging the Kansas City Royals to give their minority owner another chance on the bump.
- Patrick Mahomes laughed his way through several tweets highlighting the moment his tight end nearly decapitated Bieber, eager to get back on the football field where he can throw passes to Kelce without fear of bodily harm.
