Yep, fans are feeling him!! Yesterday Richard Sherman hosted a celebrity softball game & over 22,000 fans showed up for it and they got a nice surprise to see Kobe Bryant hit a home run! Check it out…
Via ESPN:
Sherman’s event filled the entire lower bowl of the Seattle Mariners’ home stadium from one foul pole to the other.
Sherman’s event featured a litany of Seahawks teammates, including quarterback Russell Wilson, defensive end Michael Bennett, wide receiver Doug Baldwin and safety Earl Thomas. Also playing was Kobe Bryant, who said he hadn’t swung a bat in 20 years.
It certainly didn’t look that way in his first at-bat, with Bryant hitting a solo homer over the temporary fence in the outfield.
“I respect these guys tremendously and it’s humbling, it’s not something you can put into words,” Sherman said before the game started. “You don’t wake up one day and be like I’m going to have Kobe Bryant, Nate Robinson, Lawyer Milloy playing in my softball game, and Macklemore. It’s something that happened and you’re numb to the feeling until like years later when you realize that was a pretty incredible event.”
