Travis Kelce has purchased a minority stake in the Cleveland Guardians. <\/p>\n

On his podcast, Kelce, who grew up in Ohio, called the opportunity to be part of the ownership group a dream come true. <\/p>\n

“Any Cleveland kid would be through the roof right now, and I’m happy to be the honorable one to get to do this for us,” Kelce said. <\/p>\n

Kelce also thanked the Dolan family, which owns the Guardians, as well as investor David Blitzer.<\/p>\n

“These guys gave me the opportunity to show my Cleveland love and plant my roots in Cleveland forever, no matter what,” Kelce said. “It’s an awesome feeling knowing that a childhood kid that grew up on the East Side is part owner of his favorite baseball team.”<\/p>\n

Kelce said his first order of business as a minority owner is to throw out a “respectable first pitch.”<\/p>\n

“I know I’m gonna be at the game on June 14 versus the Detroit Tigers,” Kelce said. “Try and redeem myself in front of my Cleveland roots.”<\/p>\n
