Watch: Danny Farquhar Throws First Pitch Six Weeks After Suffering Brain Hemorrhage

White Sox pitcher Danny Farquhar threw out the first pitch at Guaranteed Rate Field on Friday night.

Fans gave Farquhar a standing ovation as he walked to the mound. He was joined by his wife and three children, as well as the medical staff that has aided his recovery.

Farquhar is recovering from a brain hemrrhage caused by a ruptured aneurysm after he collapsed in the team's dugout on April 20. He underwent surgery the following day.

Doctors are optimistic that Farquhar will be able to pitch again but he is not expected to return for the 2018 season.
