Kay Adams didn’t just take the mound at Wrigley Field this week. She made it personal. The sports host and proud Chicago native threw out the ceremonial first pitch before the Cubs game, dedicating the moment to legendary broadcaster Bob Uecker, per SportingNews. “This one was for Bob Uecker. ❤️,” Adams wrote in reply to the Cubs’ post on X.

Wearing a Henry Rowengartner jersey from the Cubs-themed film Rookie of the Year and a pair of denim jeans, Adams brought both nostalgia and charm to the field. Her pitch may not have wowed scouts, but the crowd embraced the energy and tribute behind it. Social media lit up, not just because of the throw itself, but because fans realized Adams delivered it with her left hand.

“Kay a lefty,” one user commented, while another joked, “Best lefty change up in the business.” While the pitch might join the list of infamous first throws alongside 50 Cent and Taylor Lewan, Adams owned the moment with grace and humor.
