Watch: Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman throws the first pitch in Yankee Stadium

Unfortunately for Freeman, the atmosphere didn’t quite translate into a strike, as the throw went a bit high and to the left. The main reason why he was invited was to create some hype around the Shamrock Series game against Navy that will be played in that same venue.
