ESPN Personality Takes the Mound at Yankee Stadium 2023 Topps NOW #901

Longtime on-air media personality Stephen A. Smith had his moment on the Yankee Stadium mound before Thursday night's game, with the honor of throwing out the first pitch. Styling a Derek Jeter jersey over his business attire, the 55-year-old delivered his pitch to Yankees catcher Kyle Higashioka. It wasn't a perfect strike, but the ball found its way to the plate. Afterwards, the ESPN First Take host said he warmed up before throwing the pitch, but he suddenly questioned what he was doing there when he saw how far it was. "I got on that mound and it looked like it was a mile away," he said.
