The New York Yankees had plenty of New York Giants fans at the stadium Sunday when they hosted Eli Manning in the Bronx, honoring both the Giants and Manning himself.
In connection with the Giants’ celebration of their 100th season, the Yankees welcomed Manning to throw out the ceremonial first pitch and gave away a commemorative Manning Bobblehead for fans in attendance on Sunday.
In true Manning fashion, he threw a missile from the rubber and the Yankees won the game, of course, in a come-from-behind effort.

The two-time Super Bowl MVP has stayed around since retiring from the NFL and enjoys going to other New York/New Jersey sporting events, frequently attending hockey games of the local teams.
Manning has thrown out ceremonial for both the New York Mets and the Atlanta Braves alongside his brother, Peyton.
Manning is one of the most storied New York athletes and the two teams couldn’t have picked a better athlete to represent Big Blue in the Yankees’ celebration of the Giants’ 100th season.
