South Dakota to Super Bowls: The Untold Patrick Mahomes Story
Patrick Mahomes was born in Tyler, Texas in 1995. But before he became a world-class athlete and a two-time Super Bowl winner Patrick Mahomes may have spent a little time in Sioux Falls.
I just found this out from a friend who is well-versed in Sioux Falls sports history. From 2007 to 2009 his dad Pat Mahomes Sr. was a member of the Sioux Falls Canaries as a pitcher.
Before his stint with the Canaries, Pat Mahomes Sr. was known for playing with the Minnesota Twins from 1992 to 1996.
During his major league baseball career, Mahomes Sr. also pitched with the Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs, and Pittsburgh Pirates.
Mahomes Sr. was inducted into the Canaries Hall of Fame and had his jersey retired in June 2019.
