Overview

  • On July 5 at Wrigley Field, Kamara requested a rare do-over after his first ceremonial pitch bounced wildly before landing one within Cubs mascot Clark the Cub’s glove on his second attempt.
  • The clip quickly circulated on social media and was shared by broadcasters including Marquee Sports Network, amplifying Kamara’s cross-sport visibility in Chicago.
  • His appearance followed his role as NASCAR’s Grant Park 165 Growth and Engagement Advisor, underlining his off-field promotional engagements.
  • Bears supporters have speculated that the cameo could signal interest in acquiring the five-time Pro Bowler for Chicago’s backfield, though no official talks have been confirmed.
  • Kamara has since returned to New Orleans to prepare for the 2025 NFL season under coach Kellen Moore, with his contract extending through 2026.
