San Francisco 49ers punter Mitch Wishnowsky stole the show before the San Francisco Giants’ home opener when he punted a ball over the wall and into McCovey Cove.
Special guests typically throw out the ceremonial first pitch at a Major League Baseball game, but Wishnowsky opted to do something he routinely does during NFL games, punt a football.
Wishnowsky then crushed the ceremonial “first punt” over the ballpark’s outfield wall and into McCovey Cove.
A kayaker quickly retrieved the football after it splashed into the popular section of San Francisco Bay!
