In a tribute to late actor and San Francisco Giants fan Robin Williams, his children, Zak, Zelda, and Cody Williams, threw out the ceremonial first pitch before Game 5 of the World Series at AT&T Park.
Williams's longtime friend, Billy Crystal, caught the first pitch. Crystal also introduced a pregame video tribute to Williams on the video board.
Here's a statement from Williams' children.
"We are honored to be here in support of the tribute to our father, someone who loved his hometown and especially the Giants. For all of us, it is a tremendous delight and a little surreal to throw out the ceremonial first pitch of a World Series game for our team to our dad’s best friend. We could not think of a better way to celebrate his memory. Let’s go Giants!”
Williams committed suidice in August, investigators said.
