Many times, a celebrity making the first pitch will have a customized jersey with their name on it. Not sure if Lovitz was a last minute pitcher or he's just an Ernie Banks fan but as you can see by the video below, Lovitz is wearing a #14 Banks jersey. Former Cub Sam Fuld plays the role of the catcher and Lovitz bounces the ball in the dirt to the backstop. Given a second chance, he gets it to Fuld in the air, but it most certainly would have hit a left-handed batter.
After taking an early lead, the Cubs fell to the Mets 4-1. Here is the box score for the game for anyone curious.
My wife and I really enjoyed seeing him do his thing in the booth with Len and Bob earlier this year.
ReplyDeleteI'd curious to see what he's really like because he seems to be "in chracter" all the time.
