Travis Kelce's Ceremonial First Pitch Delayed by Weather: Rescheduled for September Doubleheader
The Cleveland Guardians' new minority owner, Travis Kelce, was unable to make his debut with a ceremonial first pitch due to bad weather. Kelce, a Cleveland Heights native and tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, purchased a stake in the team on May 27. The planned celebration for his ownership was scheduled for a game against the Detroit Tigers on Sunday, June 14. However, the game was postponed due to inclement weather, and the first pitch will now take place on Friday, Sept. 4 as part of a doubleheader. Despite the delay, Kelce and his fiancé, Taylor Swift, did not make a public appearance at Progressive Field on Sunday. The ceremonial first pitch is expected to be rescheduled for a future date.
