The quarterback later talked about his experience at the game sharing that he mused over whether to go in public as a high-profile athlete but ultimately decided to attend the baseball game and enjoyed the experience from a fan’s perspective.
“At first I was like, ‘Do I want to drive in the city, put on a disguise?'” And I thought, ‘Yeah, let’s do it. It’s the playoffs and I know I’ll look back and be so glad we did.’ And I was. And I am,” the quarterback said.
He also shared that his kids enjoyed the game, “They loved it.”
The quarterback said that this moment was nostalgic for him as when he was teaching his 6-year-old son (Cooper) about the game, he remembered how his dad used to do the same.
