Michael Phelps and son Boomer deliver match ball for Baltimore Ravens' playoff clash against Kansas City Chiefs

The most decorated Olympian of all time, Michael Phelps made an appearance at Truist Park to deliver the game-day ball with eldest son Boomer Phelps for the Baltimore Ravens' playoff clash against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Currently residing in Tempe, Arizona, the 38-year-old former competitive swimmer is a huge supporter of the Ravens. Born in Maryland's largest city, Phelps spent his initial years training at the North Baltimore Aquatic Club (NBAC). As a result, he earned the nickname ‘The Baltimore Bullet’.

Phelps is known for cheering the Ravens on his social media platforms. The retired American swimmer previously managed the team’s Twitter account. He had earlier stated in an interview that former Baltimore football linebacker Ray Lewis’s advice helped him find his purpose in life. As a result, he was able to compete at the Rio Olympics 2016.

Ravens too have shown their admiration for Phelps multiple times. During their pre-season game in 2016, they telecast the finals of the 200m individual medley event of the Rio Olympics 2016 in which Phelps featured.

The Baltimore Ravens posted a video on their X (formerly Twitter) handle of Phelps delivering the match ball. As the 23-time Olympic gold medalist entered Truist Park with his 7-year-old son, he received massive applause from the Ravens fans. The tweet read:

“Game ball delivery @MichaelPhelps”

Recently, Phelps and his wife Nicole welcomed their fourth child, Nico Michael Phelps, on January 16, 2024. Apart from Nico and Boomer, they have two more children, both sons, Beckett and Maverick.
