Tyrese Haliburton throws out first pitch at Wrigley Field

Tyrese Haliburton finally got to throw the first pitch he's been waiting for, and the Pacers All-Star point guard did get it over the plate from the mound even if it was a little high.

Haliburton wore a Cubs jersey with his last name and his number zero on his back as he took the Wrigley Field mound prior to Chicago's game against National League Central rival Milwaukee. His pitch to Clark the Cub forced the Cubs mascot to stand up to catch it, but Haliburton did get it there on the fly, which is worth noting given that Haliburton doesn't have much in the way of baseball experience. He did serve as a captain in the Pacers Foundation Charity Softball Classic last week and went 4-for-5 in the plate in that game but acknowledged he hadn't touched a bat for years prior to that event.
