Jason Isbell throws out first pitch for Atlanta Braves playoff game

Jason Isbell got some words of encouragement from an Atlanta Braves legend before throwing out the ceremonial first pitch at Monday’s playoff game verses the Philadelphia Phillies.Isbell ended up bouncing his ceremonial pitch, which was not shown live on the TV broadcast, to the plate to a waiting Charlie Morton, the Braves pitcher.

Isbell, known for folk/rock songs like “Cover Me Up” and “24 Frames,” grew up in Green Hill and the Muscle Shoals area. In his teens, he began watching Braves game broadcasts on cable TV with his grandparents. He’s been a fan of the team ever since. Last week after the Major League Baseball team announced Isbell would be throwing on the game two first pitch, Isbell posted on X, “They call me the Redneck Rivera,” a joke referencing the nickname for the Alabama’s Panama City Beach area and possibly legendary New York Yankees reliever Mariano Rivera.

The film features Isbell’s first major film role – sharing screen time with movie stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro.The Braves lost to the Phillies 3-0 in game one on Saturday Atlanta was trailing by the same score in the fourth inning of game two when this story was posted.
