FORT WORTH, Texas Having Patrick Mahomes run around the fields at the former spring training home of the Texas Rangers in Port Charlotte, Fla., was a giant nothing.
He was just a cute 5-year-old kid throwing a baseball to his daddy in spring training, and hanging out with the Texas Rangers during the season.
By the time Pat Mahomes was a Ranger in 2001, he already had his son, Patrick, accustomed to being around big-league fields, beginning with the New York Mets.
