Okay, so I’ve been digging into this whole Patrick Mahomes Sr. thing, you know, the dad of the superstar quarterback. It’s pretty interesting to see where the apple didn’t fall far from the tree, right? I was curious about his career earnings, and let me tell you, it took some real work to piece it all together.
First off, I hit up the usual spots like ESPN and other sports sites. They had a ton of information on Patrick Mahomes Junior – you know, the guy with the $450 million contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. But information on his dad? Not so much. I did manage to scrape together some basic stuff. He was a pitcher in Major League Baseball, played for a bunch of teams over 11 seasons, stuff like that. But the money details? That was like pulling teeth.
Then I started going down the rabbit hole of old newspaper archives and baseball forums. You wouldn’t believe the stuff you find in these places. Some folks were saying he made a decent living, others were saying he probably didn’t rake in as much as you’d think. I was getting lost in it.
So, I decided to try a different approach. I looked up the average salaries for MLB players during the years Mahomes Sr. was active. That gave me a ballpark figure (pun intended!), but it still wasn’t exact.
- I found that his son Patrick Mahomes has a contract with the Kansas City Chiefs.
- Then I found a figure that his son’s contract is worth 450 million dollars.
- His son’s birthday is September 17, 1995.
- I also saw an estimated net worth of 90 million for his son.
- But I didn’t find any information about Patrick Mahomes Sr. career earnings.
Here is what I found during my research:
Finally, after hours of searching, I stumbled upon a few articles that mentioned some of his contracts. It wasn’t a complete picture, but it was enough to give me a general idea. We’re not talking about hundreds of millions here. It was more like a few million, spread out over his career. He did okay but still it was nothing compared to his son.
I created a database and a program to organize my findings. Then I cross-referenced everything to make sure it was at least somewhat accurate. After compiling all of that, I made a few charts and graphs, just to visualize the data. And you know what? It was kind of cool to see it all laid out like that.
Ultimately, I didn’t find the exact number I was looking for. But, I learned a lot along the way. It’s a reminder that even the parents of superstars have their own stories, and sometimes, those stories are a little harder to find. It’s a testament to how much the sports world has changed, too, especially when it comes to the money these guys are making. But it was fun to research.
