Jerry Seinfeld was the guest attraction at Citi Field on Friday night complete with Seinfeld Bobblehead dolls and frequent highlights from his long-running sitcom.
You figured it was going to be a good night for the Mets when starting pitcher Jacob deGrom handed Seinfeld the baseball to throw out the first pitch and the comedian went into full wind-up mode and delivered a side-arm strike over the heart of the plate.
DeGrom might have been a bit star struck because his first pitch of the game was promptly deposited in the left-field seats by the Phillies’ Scott Kingery.
