After being snubbed on their list in 2024, New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara returned to ESPN's top 10 rankings ahead of a pivotal 2025.

After pulling and bouncing the ball in a throw to the Chicago Cubs mascot, the New Orleans Saints running back held out his glove and requested the ball back for a second pitch. He waved to the crowd and fired a better pitch, but still missed the strike zone by a few feet.

Kamara, 29, threw out the first pitch before the Chicago Cubs and St. Louis Cardinals played at Wrigley Field Saturday, and it did not go well. Kamara, wearing a Cubs’ jersey with his name and the No. 41, yanked the first pitch. The Saints star running back threw it about 45 feet and nearly outside the lefty batter’s box.
