Giants Announcer Calls Out Fox Broadcast Over Amy Schneider First Pitch

Jeopardy! champion Amy Schneider threw out the first pitch at the Giants vs. Dodgers game on Saturday. However, Fox Sports did not make it appear that Schneider was the one who took the mound ahead of the game.

When the network returned from a commercial break, instead of showing Schneider’s first pitch, it showed NASCAR Cup Series driver Kurt Busch throwing out the first pitch from the previous Thursday.

Fans were shocked and confused about why the network had this mixup, especially because Schneider was chosen to throw out the first pitch for the Giants’ Pride Day game since she is the first transgender contestant on Jeopardy!
