Pochettino to Throw First Pitch at Mariners-Blue Jays Game

Pochettino, 54, will toss the ceremonial first pitch at the Seattle Mariners‑Toronto Blue Jays game on Friday night. The invitation comes as the U.S. men’s team heads to Seattle Stadium for its World Cup round‑of‑16 clash with Belgium on Monday.

The Argentine‑born coach, living in Spain, has embraced the American summer, playing catch with players before practice and singing “Take Me Home, Country Roads” with fans. Forward Folarin Balogun praised the unique opportunities and the chance to focus while also enjoying distractions, saying “This is a unique experience for me, being in the World Cup in your home nation.” h-doctor.club
