This week at Chase Field, two Arizona Cardinals players are set to throw out a first pitch. Current left tackle Jared Veldheer will do so on Wednesday, but on Tuesday night it was recently retired safety Adrian Wilson.
Wilson played 12 seasons for the Cardinals and signed a contract to rejoin the team recently to officially retire a member of the Cardinals.
The event and things leading up to the first pitch were caught on camera an on social media.
