Tom Hanks upstaged by Wilson as he throws first pitch at baseball game
Tom Hanks was upstaged by his iconic Castaway co-star Wilson when throwing the first pitch at a baseball game this weekend – see footage below.The beloved actor threw the ceremonial first pitch at the Cleveland Guardians’ home opener of the new MLB season against the San Francisco Giants on Friday (April 15).When coming out onto the field, Hanks brought the volleyball Wilson with him and placed it in front of him before throwing the pitch.The wind had other ideas though, with Wilson repeatedly flying off into the outfield.“There goes Wilson,” one commentator said, with another remarking: “It’s windy today.”With Wilson not playing ball, Hanks eventually threw the pitch regardless.See the hilarity unfold below.Accompanied by a rather uncooperative Wilson, @tomhanks delivers the ceremonial first pitch to Larry Doby Jr.#ForTheLand pic.twitter.com/tbmkcwqHuH— Bally Sports Cleveland (@BallySportsCLE) April 15, 2022Back in November last year, Wilson the beloved volleyball sold for £230,000 at auction. The film prop was sold in an auction on Prop Store.
