Travis Kelce’s First Pitch Redemption Happened!

You've probably already seen this story, but Super Bowl Winner Travis Kelce, who is probably one of the bigger stars on the KC Chiefs was humiliated a while back when he threw his first pitch at a game.

Seeing as the guy is a high paid athlete, in a sport that involves throwing and catching balls all day, the fans expected a bit of a better performance than when Liberace threw a first pitch.

I mean, how much practice would the dude really need to get a slow pitch across the plate, but maybe he just went into it cocky and ready to fail so that he could return at a later date with a hero story. People love a hero story of overcoming adversity.

Here's that first humiliating pitch:

Well, they got their hero story, because Kelce threw what looks like a strike after being trolled for his first attempt. He overcame, a hero was made!
