Breaking News: Travis Kelce is denying Polish citizenship after being rejected by his father
pointed out that his brother was a “very skilled multi-athlete,” who also played basketball and baseball. Jason, 36, also shared quotes from an old issue of The Athletic that praised his brother’s potential as baseball player.
“I know so many guys that played baseball that were also really good at football,” Travis responded.
Jason then asked, “Was there ever a point where you almost pursued baseball instead of other sports?” “It was always something in the back of my mind that I knew, like, I had a chance at if I wanted to give it a run,” Travis said. “You know, I think my size and my athleticism, as well as the fact that I could throw a throw a baseball.
“So it was always in the back of my mind that I had that as a plan B, which is why I tried to, you know, play in 2010 when I got kicked out of school or when I got kicked off the team for a little bit,” he said. “I was always just kinda keeping that alive in a sense.”
Ultimately, Travis said he struggled to “find a love of the game” even though he had fun playing with the teams he was on. Still, at the time, he had interest from scouts who were looking for him to play, so he knew “this was an option if I want to go there.”
