| How Much Of The Kansas City Royals Does Patrick Mahomes Own |
A Minority Share, But a Major Move
Hold your horses, baseball fanatics! Mahomes isn't exactly calling the shots for the Royals just yet. He owns a minority stake, which means he doesn't have a controlling ownership. Think of it like this: Mahomes gets to wear a fancy owner's hat occasionally, but he probably doesn't get to pick the hot dog vendor (although, with his endorsement deals, maybe he could influence that?).
The Great Baseball Bloodlines (Maybe Not)
Now, some might say Mahomes' baseball ownership is a natural fit. After all, his dad, Pat Mahomes Sr., played in the majors! But here's the funny part: Patrick Jr. actually started out playing baseball himself! He was a talented pitcher until college, but eventually decided to focus solely on football. Guess throwing touchdowns turned out to be a pretty good call.
So, How Big is This Slice of Baseball Pie?
Alright, alright, enough with the suspense. Estimates suggest Mahomes owns around 1% of the Kansas City Royals. While that might not seem like much, considering the team's value is in the billions (with a "B"), it's still a pretty hefty investment for a young athlete.
Tip: Reread tricky sentences for clarity.
This move by Mahomes shows not only his love for the Kansas City community, but also his savvy business sense. Who knows, maybe one day he'll be calling the shots for both the Chiefs and the Royals!
Fun Fact: Mahomes' ownership stake made him the youngest owner in Major League Baseball history at the time. Take that, you darn whippersnappers!
