Overview

  • Kamara took the mound for the ceremonial first pitch before the Cubs-Cardinals game at Wrigley Field on July 5 and his initial throw bounced well short of home plate.
  • Unsatisfied with his wild pitch, he paused play to request a do-over and delivered a faster second throw that reached Clark the Cub’s glove.
  • After leaving the mound, Kamara smiled and said, “The first one, I just let that s--- loose,” in a video shared by the Saints.
  • The five-time Pro Bowler visited Chicago in his advisory capacity for NASCAR’s Grant Park 165 street race scheduled for Sunday.
  • He ranks among ten NFL players all-time with over 6,500 rushing and 4,500 receiving yards and heads into the upcoming season slated to lead a retooled Saints offense under coach Kellen Moore.
