Instead of the basketball court, a member of the Golden State Warriors was busy on the baseball diamond on Friday night.
With the Texas Rangers in town, Oakland native and Golden State forward Juan Toscano-Anderson threw out the ceremonial first pitch for the Oakland Athletics game.
Suited up in Oakland’s kelly green jersey, Toscano-Anderson tossed a strike over the dish to the catcher’s glove. Despite not skipping the ball or making the A’s catcher run to make a catch, Toscano-Anderson’s teammate had a message for him.
Following Toscano-Anderson’s pitch, Steph Curry chimed in on Twitter to say he’d hit a home run off his teammate. Along with taking Toscano-Anderson deep, the two-time NBA Most Valuable Player said he would celebrate with a bat flip similar to former Toronto Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista.

I’m taking that straight over the left field wall with the meanest bat flip you’ve ever seen. Bautista style https://t.co/1fLSiZMSMm

Before the Warriors’ offseason comes to an end, Toscano-Anderson and Curry might need to meet on the sandlot to settle a pitcher-hitter duel.
