Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has always been an avid baseball fan and took his affinity for the game to a new level by buying a minority share of the Royals in 2020.
Earlier this month, the star quarterback went viral for giving former Chiefs wide receiver Gehrig Dieter, a lifelong New York Yankees fan, a hard time during the Royals’ ALDS run.
Though New York would ultimately take the series and defeat the Royals before punching their ticket to the World Series, Mahomes and Dieter continued sparring about the Yankees on Twitter throughout the MLB playoffs.
When the Los Angeles Dodgers defeated New York in the World Series last night, Mahomes took one last jab at his former teammate:
Sorry bud @GehrigDieter

Expect Mahomes and Dieter to continue the war of words if the Royals and Yankees meet in the American League playoffs next season.
