The first pitch ahead of Tuesday's 4-1 win over Philadelphia, however, was one that surprised fans who simply wondered how it all came together.
Most nights the Seattle Mariners take the field at T-Mobile Park there's a ceremonial first pitch just before the actual game starts.
Sometimes it's local dignitaries like Seattle City Councilmember Debora Juarez, who threw the ceremonial first pitch on Monday.
Other times, it's other local athletes like Flau'jae Johnson of the Seattle Storm or Sam Darnold of the Seattle Seahawks earlier this summer.
The first pitch ahead of Tuesday's 4-1 win over Philadelphia, however, was one that surprised fans who simply wondered how it all came together.
Yes, that's Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, who appears on many expert lists to run for President in 2028. Beshear was on hand for the Mariners at T-Mobile Park to take part in the ceremony and watch the Mariners win their 4th game in 5 tries.
His son Will, an accomplished high school and travel baseball player threw an impressive fastball which his father the governor caught over the plate.
Beshear often posts on social media about his son's baseball prowess and the two enjoy the game clearly. Now, they were able to see what baseball in Seattle is all about with T-Mobile Park often mentioned as one of the best in baseball.
He was the attorney general for Kentucky from 2016-2019 before being elected to the state's top office in 2019 and maintaining that position at present time.
