@todayshow: Belmont Cameli comes from a South Side family, so when the opportunity came to throw out the first pitch at Chicago's Crosstown Classic, he was "honored" to do it ... but only for the White Sox! Cameli told Craig Melvin, "The Cubs asked me to throw out the first pitch, and I was honored. But my family's a South Side family, so I said, 'Cubs. Thank you so much for considering me. But I have to politely pass.' And then I screenshotted that, and I sent it to the White Sox. And the White Sox said, 'What's the best email to reach you guys?'" ⚾️

I’m a Cubs fan but this is the level of team loyalty and sports rivalry I can get behind. Can’t wait to watch the first pitch(and the Cubs win).
