Kelce Brothers Join Raucous Philadelphia Phillies Crowd For Game 1 of NLCS
The Philadelphia Phillies rode their raucous home crowd to a win Monday night, and two major stars did their best to rile up fans from the stands.
Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce and his brother, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, were in attendance at Citizens Bank Park for Game 1 of the NLCS. The pair was shown on the jumbotron multiple times throughout the contest, which ended in a 5-3 win for the Phillies over the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Phillies fans reached 111 decibels when celebrating a Bryce Harper home run, and while they didn't quite reach that level when Jason chugged a beer on the scoreboard, the moment did send the crowd into a bit of a frenzy.
Jason has been with the Eagles – who play their home games at Lincoln Financial Field, just a parking lot away from Citizens Bank Park – since 2011. He was a member of the 2017 Super Bowl team, and he has made six Pro Bowls in his career.
Travis, meanwhile, has been with the Chiefs since 2013. He was spotted multiple times in New York City with his girlfriend, popstar Taylor Swift, over the weekend, and the couple made surprise cameos on "Saturday Night Live."
The brothers have been all over the place as of late, with their eponymous documentary dropping on Amazon Prime Video in September. Their podcast, "New Heights," has also picked up steam over the past year, and Travis' relationship with Swift has taken his stardom to the next level.
The two are now spilling over into the baseball world with the postseason heating up.
The Kelces went to college at Cincinnati, but the Cincinnati Reds just missed out on the playoff picture. Their hometown Cleveland Guardians didn't make the cut, either, and the same goes for Travis' neighbors, the Kansas City Royals.
Instead, they have joined forces to support the Phillies, who now lead the NLCS 1-0. Philadelphia is now three wins away from making its second-straight World Series.
