Could City Royals make rare AL East trade for All-Star infielder?
The 2024 Home Run Derby featured a dramatic final round between Los Angeles Dodgers’ slugger Teoscar Hernandez and star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. of the Kansas City Royals. The tension slowly built during Witt Jr.’s final swings of the evening as he closed the distance in the competition but ultimately fell one home run short of tying Hernandez’s 14 long balls.
Kansas City Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes is used to controlling the outcome of contests but on Monday night he was like any other fan, helplessly but intently watching as Witt Jr. valiantly attempted to overtake Hernandez.
Mahomes’ wife Brittany noticed the nervous energy coming from her famous husband as the championship round wore on and snapped a photo capturing the moment. Brittany playfully captioned the pic “Power stance” on her Instagram story, referencing the unusual way Mahomes was standing while watching the event, per Rex Villas of Athlon Sports. She included a crying laughing emoji to make the mockery complete.
