Bat Kid hasn’t lost his grip on San Francisco

Miles Scott, 5, the kid who was thrown an all-day celebration last year as part of a Make A Wish dream, threw out the first pitch today for the San Francisco Giants, arriving in the Batmobile and then getting an escort to the mound while the crowd chanted, “Let’s Go, Batkid!”
