Pat Mahomes Sr. celebrates six months’ sobriety after recent arrests with bizarre Instagram post featuring baseball legend
The father of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes II is celebrating sixth months of sobriety.
Retired Major League relief pitcher Pat Mahomes Sr. made the revelation on Instagram less than a month after he was arrested in Texas for driving on a suspended license. He is currently awaiting trial on a drunk-driving charge stemming from his arrest in the same Texas county on February 3.
‘I would like to Thank my God wife family and friends for 6 months on the sunny side of the road,’ the elder Mahomes wrote on Instagram. ‘I know it’s been hard getting to know sober Pat but it’s well worth it.’
The 53-year-old’s caption also included a message for his wife, Patrick II’s stepmother: ‘Trisha Mahomes thanks for all you do.’
Somewhat confusingly, the Instagram post featured a picture of Mahomes Sr. with his head cropped out of frame. Even more baffling is the presence of baseball’s all-time hit king, Pete Rose, in the photo.
