Eli Manning celebrated his own New York Yankees bobblehead giveaway by taking the mound at Yankee Stadium.
Manning kicked off a Sunday contest against the Toronto Blue Jays by throwing out the ceremonial first pitch to Oswaldo Cabrera.
Manning’s appearance was part of the Yankees “Giants 100th Season Day” theme day in honor of the NFL franchise’s centennial anniversary, which officialy took place on Aug. 1.
The first 18,000 fans in attendance at Sunday’s game received a bobblehead of Manning, dressed in a Yankees uniform but pulling his arm back to throw a football.
The Giants will hold their own 100th anniversary celebration ahead of the team’s Sept. 8 season opener against the Minnesota Vikings.
That isn’t the only notable date for New York football fans to keep an eye on during the upcoming season.
Manning, who led the Giants to two Super Bowls during his tenure with the team between 2004 to 2019, will also become eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame for the first time in 2025.
