Jason Kelce is one of the most likable professional football players in the world. Although, Last Saturday, Jason was on a different type of field. Travis Kelce’s older brother was able to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the Philadelphia Phillies game. Jason brought along his wife Kylie Kelce, who is arguably just as well-liked as her husband. The former Super Bowl Champion was dressed in a red and white striped Phillies shirt, as well as jeans and a red baseball cap.
Jason did state that he was a little nervous about throwing the first pitch according to US Weekly. Jason’s arm seemed to work just fine though, as he delivered the pitch with no problem! It is safe to say that Jason did much better than his brother Travis in Cleveland. Just last year, Taylor Swift’s boyfriend was invited to a Cleveland Guardians game to do the same ceremony. Unfortunately, that pitch was spiked into the ground about halfway to home plate. As the ball bounced, it just about hit Guardians’ pitcher Shane Bieber in the face.
Jason Kelce Outshines Travis and Taylor Swift in Philly
“I really jumped off Opening Day in Cleveland last year,” Travis said on the recent episode of New Heights. “You and Fletcher Cox? See, this is how they got me. They said, ‘You and Mom are going to throw out the first pitch,’ and then Mom was like, ‘You got it.’ I was like, ‘Mom, I didn’t practice.’”
Travis Kelce and his superstar musician girlfriend, Taylor Swift, were not able to attend the ballgame in Philly to watch Jason throw the first pitch, though, as the couple showed off some PDA in Tennessee with Swift’s parents. However, that did not stop Jason Kelce from having fun. Jason was invited into the booth to cheer on Phillies catcher J.T. Realmuto. Realmuto hit a solo home run in the 3rd inning, but it was not enough, as the Braves took that game with a final score of 9-3.
It’s clear Jason Kelce has the ability to outshine his brother, Travis Kelce, and his girlfriend, Taylor Swift at times. Maybe that’s why the family is rumored for a new reality TV series, which could bring fans into their lives. For now, we’ll just have to wait and see what the future holds for Jason as he heads into retirement.
