How did the reigning Super Bowl MVP celebrate Father’s Day? With who else then his own daughter who helped him throw out the first pitch at Citifield. How many people cans say they threw out the first pitch at an MLB game before they could walk? Not too many I would assume, but then again having Eli Manning as your dad does have its perks. David Wright played catcher for Manning. A random Eli fact? He actually played baseball growing up as a second baseman. If you watch the pitch he threw, you can tell he should definitely stick to football he is much more accurate.
