INDIANAPOLIS -- For a baseball-loving Chicago kid, there might be no greater honor than throwing out the first pitch at Wrigley Field.
Indianapolis Colts receiver Alec Pierce saw that dream fulfilled before a Chicago Cubs game in April, the latest sign of his growing stature in the NFL after a career season in 2024.
"I grew up a big Cubs fan," Pierce said. "Probably was my favorite sports team of any team. So, it was a pretty special moment."
Pierce, who grew up in the Chicago suburbs, had a sizable group of friends join him for the event.
