Hey baseball and soccer fans! ⚾️⚽️ Guess who made a surprise appearance at the MLB opener in Miami? None other than Brazilian soccer superstar Neymar Jr.! 🇧🇷
On Thursday, Neymar stepped onto the mound to throw out the ceremonial first pitch at the game between the Miami Marlins and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Rocking casual attire and a big smile, he showed off his pitching skills and got the crowd hyped. 🎉
Even though he's recovering from recent surgery on his left knee, Neymar didn't miss the chance to be part of the action. Currently playing for Saudi Pro League's Al Hilal, he's proving that nothing can keep him away from the sports he loves.
As for the game itself, it was a nail-biter! The Pirates edged out the Marlins with a 6-5 victory. 🏆
