San Francisco 49ers punter Mitch Wishnowsky opted to punt a football instead of throwing the ceremonial first pitch at the Giants opening day festivities. He successfully knocked the 'first punt' over the outfield wall and into McCovey Cove, where it was retrieved by a kayaker. Wishnowsky's teammates, Deebo Samuel and Fred Warner, also participated in the pregame ceremonies.
San Francisco 49ers punter Mitch Wishnowsky was on hand for the Giants opening day festivities at Oracle Park. Special guests typically throw out the ceremonial first pitch at a Major League Baseball game, but Mishnowsky opted to do something he routinely does during NFL games, punt a football. Mishnowsky then knocked the ceremonial 'first punt' over the ballpark's outfield wall and into McCovey Cove.
A kayaker quickly retrieved the football after it splashed into the popular section of San Francisco Bay. Wishnowsky's teammates, All-Pro receiver Deebo Samuel and linebacker Fred Warner, also participated in the pregame ceremonies. Samuel and Warner simultaneously threw the traditional ceremonial first pitches to home plate.
