US EditionSaints Star Alvin Kamara Throws First Pitch at Chicago Cubs Game
- Alvin Kamara, a New Orleans Saints running back, threw the ceremonial first pitch at the Chicago Cubs vs. St. Louis Cardinals game at Wrigley Field on Saturday.
- Kamara’s initial pitch bounced before reaching home plate, prompting him to request a do-over, a rare occurrence in ceremonial pitches.
- Kamara redeemed himself by throwing a much stronger pitch that reached the Cubs mascot’s glove, earning applause amid his visible smile and shrug at his first attempt.
- Since beginning his NFL career in 2017, Kamara has amassed 11,541 total yards from scrimmage, ranking him second only to Derrick Henry among all players during that timeframe, while last season he recorded 1,493 yards and eight touchdowns in 14 games.
- As he prepares for his ninth Saints season in 2025, Kamara will lead the team’s offense under new coaching led by Kellen Moore, with rookie Tyler Shough likely starting at quarterback.
