Patrick Mahomes' parents, Pat and Randi Mahomes, and the rest of his family played a major role in the Kansas City Chiefs quarterback's success. Patrick's dad, Pat Sr., was a longtime MLB pitcher playing for the Minnesota Twins, Boston Red Sox, New York Mets, Texas Rangers, Chicago Cubs and Pittsburgh Pirates over his 11-year pro baseball career. 

Pat Sr. had a career 42-39 record with 452 strikeouts during his time as a pitcher. The Chiefs quarterback grew up in baseball clubhouses which prepared him for future NFL locker rooms. 

Pat Sr. believes experiencing this at a young age helped Patrick as an NFL quarterback. 

“He got really involved when I got with the Mets in ’99,” Pat Sr. told The Athletic's Dan Hayes during a Jan. 29, 2019, feature story. “From that point on, as long as I played he was always around big-league guys and in big-league clubhouses.

“He got to see what it was like to be a professional and how they go about their business. Just sucking it all in. He was with me in the World Series and there was 65,000 people in the stands. Now when he goes out and there’s big crowds like that it’s not a big deal to him. It’s like he’s just playing a game.”

Patrick also remains close with his mom Randi, who has become a regular at Chiefs games. The quarterback's parents divorced in 2006, per People. 

Patrick and his wife Brittany Mahomes are now the proud parents of three children: Sterling Skye, Golden Raye and "Bronze."
