Such suspense.....

>>>Netflix is using its first-ever MLB broadcast for some cross-brand synergy with a special guest from Wednesday helping with the ceremonial first pitch for Wednesday's game between the New York Yankees and San Francisco Giants.

The streamer announced Thing, the severed hand from Wednesday, will "be lending a hand" with the ceremonial pitch for the opening game of the 2026 MLB season.

It's unclear exactly what that means, though the image accompanying the announcement suggests Thing will be delivering the ball to the mound prior to the first pitch.

However, neither the Giants nor MLB has confirmed who will be throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at Oracle Park, so it's not out of the realm of possibility Thing could be the one to throw the unofficial pitch that kicks off the regular season.<<<

I don’t have Netflix so I don’t know exactly what happened, but I heard it was Bruce Bochy and Dusty Baker doing the ceremonial first pitch.
