Batkid throws out first pitch for Giants home opener

He’s the goshdanged Batkid.

Do you remember how Batkid won the nation’s heart just a few months ago? Of course not, the Internet has turned your brain into short-attention mush. But trust us, it was a very, very cool story.

Batkid rides again. Before the San Francisco Giants’ home opener, a Batmobile drove on the field. While a small piece of me wanted an eccentric member of the Giants’ ownership group to pop out, it was Batkid, there to throw the first pitch.

Oh man, that little bat fist.

Good work, Giants. Good work keeping the city of San Francisco safe.
