"Anyone know if coach Reid threw a strike?" Mahomes tweeted, adding three laughing/crying emojis for good measure and tagging the Royals.
It was Kansas City's first game of the 2024 baseball season, and the face of the NFL wanted to know if his 66-year-old coach could get the ball over the plate.
Less than two months ago, Mahomes and Reid teamed up in Las Vegas to overcome the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII.
Mahomes threw the game-winning touchdown pass in the final seconds of overtime, while Reid cemented his legacy as one of the greatest coaches in NFL history.

But even Mahomes was curious whether his coach could go ahead 0-1 in the count as the Royals played the first contest of a 162-game campaign.
"A baseball in his right hand, the Lombardi Trophy in his left," an announcer said, as Reid made his way toward the mound and was surrounded by Kansas City mascots.
Then the three-time Super Bowl champ reared back and smoothly delivered a pitch that left social media stunned.
"Oh, yeah, that's a strike!" an announcer said, which was followed by Reid proudly pumping his fist.
