The former Philadelphia Eagles player, 36, and his wife attended a baseball game on Saturday.

The 36-year-old newly retired NFL player attended a baseball game between the Philadelphia Phillies and the Atlanta Braves in Philadelphia on Saturday with his wife Kylie McDevitt Kelce, and threw the first pitch.

The baseball club caught the historic event in an Instagram snapshot of Jason throwing out the ceremonial first pitch alongside his former Philadelphia Eagles teammate Fletcher Cox at Citizens Bank Park, where the game was placed.

The Phillies captioned their carousel picture, “Today’s first pitch: Go Birds forever ,” and added, “(swipe for a gift from Jason to Bryce).”

In another photo put on the carousel, Jason, who donned a red and white striped Phillies shirt, trousers, and a red baseball cap to the game, gave first baseman Bryce Harper a gift while signing his cleats.

Kylie, meanwhile, sported a white sweatshirt with red Phillies lettering and pants as she grinned alongside her husband in daytime images.

The mother of three — she and Jason have kids Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 3, and Bennett, 1 — even posed for a photo with a fluffy green Phillies mascot during the game.

After it was reported earlier this week that he would be throwing the first pitch at the game on Saturday, Jason joked on X (previously Twitter), “Yes Saturday, not the home opener, and to be clear, @fcoxx_91 is gonna have to throw it because my elbow doesn’t work.”

Jason and Cox, 33, announced their retirement from the NFL earlier this month. They each spent more than ten years playing for the Eagles after Jason joined in 2011 and Cox joined the following year.

The couple appeared to be in good spirits when enjoying the baseball game on Saturday.

Earlier this month, Jason revealed on his podcast, New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce, that he feels no difference after retiring from the NFL and still visits the Eagles’ training facility. 

“I am a creature of habit…” I don’t feel any different,” he said. “I’m guessing that once organized team activities (OTAs) start, and especially once training camp and the season begin, it will really start to hit a little harder. But one week in, there’s not much of a difference, to be honest.
