Jonathan Van Ness took over Wrigley Field, tossing a first pitch and leading the seventh-inning stretch
Jonathan Van Ness is a man of multitudes, and on Friday afternoon the acclaimed hairdresser/podcaster/"Queer Eye" star added "baseball player" to his growing resume of roles with an entertaining cameo appearance at Wrigley Field before the Cardinals-Cubs game.
JVN, an Illinois native himself, was on hand to lend his services for a ceremonial first pitch and, of course, leading the crowd at the Friendly Confines in the seventh-inning stretch.

After the first pitch festivities were over, JVN and his crew headed up to the broadcast booth in the seventh inning for a Wrigley Field tradition:
Great job on a fab 7th inning stretch, @jvn! pic.twitter.com/POSVwMq6YL

Now this is a great way to celebrate Pride Month at the ballpark.
Adrian Garro joined MLB.com in 2016. Throughout his travels, both Bartolo Colon and Vin Scully have placed their hands on his shoulders. Not at the same time, though. That'd be amazing.
