We Give Thanks to Tim for Delivering the First Pitch and Sharing the Importance of being Humble and Kind...
New York, New York
It was a beautiful tribute to our Tugger- on November 1st, Tim McGraw threw out the Game 4 World Series ceremonial first pitch. Country music star is the son of late Mets closer and our founder, Tug McGraw, who coined the phrase "Ya Gotta Believe." There is a lot of pressure in throwing out the first pitch and TMF gives a big shout-out to Faith Hill, his beautiful wife for practicing with him in advance of the game. In addition to throwing out the first pitch, our honorary chair released a new album on November 6th, Damn Country Music. The album includes the powerful track, Humble and Kind. The song truly has a message for all of us to reflect upon as we gather with family and friends this Thanksgiving.
