The expected first choice in the 2023 NBA Draft Victor Wembanyama made an appearance at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday night to throw out the first pitch. Wembanyama's pitch did not go well and soon after the image of a baseball in his enormous hands caused the internet to go into chaos.
Wembanyama uploaded the photo to his Instagram story because he obviously thought it was humorous, but you might easily mistake him for holding an egg or a marble rather than a real baseball.
