By Matt Conner
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce will be on the Cleveland roster in Major League Baseball’s Celebrity Softball Game on Sunday.
One of the National Football League’s biggest stars will be participating in the All-Star weekend festivities for Major League Baseball when Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce joins in to play in the MLB Celebrity Softball Game.
On Sunday evening, Kelce will join the Cleveland roster (given that’s where this year’s All-Star exhibition is being held) as they face the World roster in Sunday’s big event. The rosters feature not only baseball legends but also athletes from other sports and celebrities of all kinds coming together for the exhibition.
Kelce should prove to be one of the most productive players in the lineup since he’s already shown his softball skills. Check out his home run from the Big Slick celebrity game from 2017. In addition, Kelce played baseball in high school and he’s even shown off his skills on the basketball court as well, in case you need further proof of his ability to handle himself in pretty much any sporting activity.
Kelce went to high school in Cleveland Heights, which is why he’s been placed on the local roster. He will join other favorite athletes from Cleveland like former Browns tackle Joe Thomas, former Cavs player J.R. Smith and former Indians players like Travis Hafner, Jim Thome, Carlos Baerga and Kenny Lofton. Other celebrities playing for Cleveland’s side include Dr. Oz, Olympic gymnast Simone Biles, Drew Carey and more.
As for the World roster, former MLB player Bernie Williams and Ryan Howard will help anchor the lineup alongside softball star Jennie Finch, actors Jamie Foxx and Anthony Mackie and more.
