The crowd at Kauffman Stadium had little to cheer midway through Game 3 of the American League Division Series on Wednesday evening as the Yankees took a 2-0 lead.

Then Patrick Mahomes showed up.

Not in the game of course. Although Mahomes is a minority owner of the Royals, he makes a living playing for the Chiefs. But when the Chiefs parted ways, Mahomes was in a suite at Kauffman Stadium.

The Royals trailed 2-0 and went to bat in the bottom of the fifth inning when Mahomes appeared on the Crown Vision board. He begged the fans to get loud.

Joining Mahomes in the suite were his wife Brittany, the co-owner of the Kansas City Current, and his brother Jackson.

Former Chiefs wide receiver Gehrig Dieter was also there. Here’s what you need to know about Dieter: He’s a fan of teams that much of the country hates, especially Alabama Football and the Yankees.

Mahomes’ antics on the big screen fired up the crowd and, coincidentally or not, the Royals scored two runs in the bottom of the fifth inning to tie the game. That got Mahomes’ juices flowing and he let Dieter know.
