“I am beyond grateful for this opportunity to continue to build this organization into the true powerhouse it can be,” said LaBonta via press release. “Re-signing with this club means that fans will be hearing ‘KC Baby’ from me for at least three more years.”
LaBonta is a fan favorite in Kansas City and known for saying “KC Baby” in the team huddle. The phrase has spread to the fans and has become a tradition already.
