It’s a two-man race for American League Most Valuable Player, and a good finish to the season could help Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. win the award.

Should that happen, there will be an MVP playing for both the Chiefs and Royals.

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has already won a pair of NFL MVP awards and three Super Bowl MVPs, too.

One of Mahomes’ first endorsement deals was with CommunityAmerica Credit Union, and Witt entered into a multiyear partnership last year with the financial institution.

Now the two KC sports stars are appearing in a TV commercial together for CommunityAmerica.

Here is the commercial:

This has nothing to do with that spot, but thanks to Mahomes and Witt, it really is a great time to be a sports fan in Kansas City, right?

Mahomes’ barber shared a behind-the-scenes look at the Chiefs star’s work on the spot. You can see that here.
