Haliey Welch, better known as the viral “Hawk Tuah Girl,” shared a post on social media following backlash over her first pitch at the New York Mets game on Thursday.
Welch threw the ceremonial first pitch ahead of the Mets' 7-6 loss to the Oakland Athletics, joining a long list of celebrities from Eli Manning to Grimace to do so. Welch, who was introduced to the crowd at Citi Field as a “viral sensation,” celebrated the exciting occasion with a chest bump with her friend afterward.
