'Cute' baby photo of Patrick Mahomes and his parents goes viral
The photo, which was shared by Twitter account BaseballHistoryNut, shows Pat Sr. was playing for the Minnesota Twins at the time, as he held up his son in a near empty stadium alongside his wife at the time, Patrick's mother Randi Martin.
Patrick is pictured in a Twins jersey and pants along with a little Twins baseball cap as his proud parents beam with delight.
There has been a huge reaction to the photo, which has been seen over 130,000 times on Twitter.
One Twitter user shared the photo and wrote alongside it: "awwwww - such a cute baby #mahomes."
Another user commented that there was a striking similarity between the Chiefs quarterback and his baby son, Sterling: "You can really see the resemblance between him and Sterling."
Pat Sr. also told the Los Angles Times in an article that was published earlier this year that his son's playing style has been influenced by the sports he played when at high school and college.
"You can tell by the way Patrick plays quarterback that he took pieces of his basketball, the jump throws and no-look passes, and pieces of his baseball, the different arm angles, and he put it all together in a package in football. I think a lot of that has to do with him playing all those different sports," he said.
Pat Sr., who played in 308 MLB games over his career with 63 starts, added: "Whatever ball was near him, that was the one he was gonna play with."
By the time Patrick was 7 years old, his father said that he already knew that he would go onto be a professional athlete, but he had thoughts that it might be different to his National Football League (NFL) path.
"I thought it was going to be baseball," Pat Sr. said.
