Tom Hanks threw out the first pitch for the Cleveland Guardians home opener and he had some special help. The event in Ohio ended up being a Cast Away reunion. Wilson was the ceremonial ball and the entire crowd got a massive kick out of the entire spectacle. Cleveland was playing its first home game since rebranding the team to Guardians. They ended up falling 4-1 against the San Francisco Giants and a lively crowd. However, for non-fans, the big story coming out was Hanks’ first pitch with Wilson. Back when the team name was announced, the beloved actor was a part of the video the Guardians released. He performed a long monologue about the city and its unique positioning in the country. Check it out down below.
