KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Travis Kelce will have a chance at redemption on June 12.
As part of the team's festivities for "Chiefs Day at the K" on Monday, June 12, the Kansas City Royals announced on Thursday that Kelce will throw out the first pitch before the Royals game against the Cincinnati Reds.
For Kelce, it's a chance at redemption for his infamous spike of the baseball during the home opener for the Cleveland Guardians in April.
Kelce, alongside his mother Donna, threw out the first pitch where he spiked the ball wide left of Guardians pitcher Shane Bieber, missing Bieber by a country mile.
