The Guardians produced an astonishing late comeback in their American League Championship battle with the Yankees, and Travis Kelce loved every minute of it.
The Yankees were poised to go 3-0 up in the series when Aaron Judge hit a two-run home run to tie the game, and then Giancarlo Stanton hit another home run to give the Yanks the lead.
However, Guardians outfielder Jhonkensy Noel forced an extra inning after a sensational game-tying home run in the 9th inning, as they were down to their last out.
David Fry proved to be the hero for Cleveland with a walk-off homer in extra innings.
Travis Kelce, who was born around 15 miles west of Cleveland, was left ecstatic after his beloved baseball team’s remarkable victory on home turf.
The Kansas City Chiefs tight end wrote on X after the game: ‘Playoff baseball baby!!! @CleGuardians have the city absolutely ROCKIN TONIGHT!! What a game!’

However, Kelce found himself being bombarded by trolls who questioned his loyalty after he was spotted , so he had to defend himself on X.
“I’ve been a Cleveland sports fan my entire life… Make it back to countless amount of games over the years, both Guards and Cavs, just to enjoy these memories with my friends and family, WIN OR LOSE!!… and I don’t wear Cleveland gear one time, and all of a sudden, I’m not a real fan?!” he wrote on X. “Ask anybody that was in or around that suite on game 1 who I was cheering for, they’ll let you know I was there for the (Guardians).”
