Chiefs DE George Karlaftis to throw first pitch at Jac Caglianone’s Kauffman Stadium debut

The Kansas City Chiefs will be well represented at Kauffman Stadium on Tuesday, June 10.

According to Matt Foster of KSHB 41 News, star defensive end George Karlaftis is set to throw out the first pitch at the Kansas City Royals‘ series opener against the New York Yankees.

Though the Royals and Yankees aren’t typically considered rivals, Kansas City was defeated by New York in the American League Division Series of the 2024 MLB Postseason, so it wouldn’t be a stretch to think that the teams may get chippy.

Tomorrow’s game will be notable for Kansas City’s fans because Royals rookie Jac Caglianone — one of MLB’s most promising young sluggers — is set to make his home debut against New York in the evening matchup.

Karlaftis should be expected to bring a unique enthusiasm to the baseball diamond during his first pitch, and his raucous attitude is sure to be a benefit for Royals players when he cheers the team on from the grandstands.
