The 7-foot-6 center took the stage to lead the orchestra in a rendition of the song "Sleigh Ride" at Boston's Symphony Hall Monday night. Fall was wearing a custom-made, size-48 double extra-long tuxedo.
Fall used a baton that was given to him by longtime conductor Keith Lockhart, The Boston Globe reported. Lockhart wrote "Congratulations to Tacko!" on the baton in green marker.
Lockhart called Fall "the tallest person to ever conduct the Boston Pops" before inviting him to come up on stage.
