Over the years, one ritual that Major League Baseball still follows is to invite a guest of honor to throw out the ceremonial pitch at the start of the game. This time, the guest of honor became the golf influencer, Paige Spiranac. Who also proved to be lucky for the team she pitched for.

With a combined total of more than four million followers on her social media platforms, she makes a really good partner for multiple brands. Consequently, people who follow her love her enough to love everything she does or promotes. But this time, it was not an announcement for a brand but herself on the pitch at the American Family Field Stadium.
When did Paige Spiranac throw the ceremonial pitch?
The influencer got invited by the Milwaukee Brewers to throw out the ceremonial pitch on Friday, at the opening of three-game series against the New York Yankees.
A great ceremonial first drive at @xgolfamfamfield yesterday, a perfect ceremonial first pitch today! What can’t @PaigeSpiranac do?
She’ll be signing autographs for Brewers fans at X-Golf on the Club Level soon. Stop by to say, “Hi!” pic.twitter.com/ltVGEeEBIi

Since the Brewers won that game at their last at-bat at the end of the ninth inning, saying that Spiranac was their lucky charm would not be wrong. The Yankees might have won, but the last inning made the outcome completely different.

Is she not a rookie?
I noticed they didn’t send out the rookies to handle this first pitch. Smart.
