The volleyball had a mind of its own as Hanks took to the mound to celebrate the team's new era.
Adding a nostalgic element to Friday’s game, Hanks carried a remote-controlled version of Wilson, the volleyball he bonded with in 2000’s: That’s Wilson, the volleyball,” said the team’s announcer.
Once he got to the mound, Hanks held Wilson over his head, showing off the team’s logo on one side of the ball and Wilson’s signature handprint-face visage on the other. Fans then watched as Wilson appeared to scurry around the infield, as if of its own volition., tossed the game’s first pitch to Larry Doby Jr., son of the late Larry Doby, a former member of the Cleveland Indians and the first Black player in the American League. The Giants beat the Guardians, 4-1.
