Boston Celtics star forward Jayson Tatum, originally from St. Louis, threw the first pitch at a Major League Baseball (MLB) game for what is becoming a tradition for the Duke alum. This time, he did it with a hometown twist at Busch Stadium before a game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Minnesota Twins. Tatum was joined by his son, Deuce, as they both showed support for their favorite MLB team by wearing retro blue Cardinals uniforms.
The event highlighted Tatum’s love for his hometown team, as well as provided a bevy of photos to keep us busy in the depths of the NBA’s 2023 offseason doldrums.
Let’s take a look at those photos.
