Server Crash → Sales Surge 5x… BTS’s V Successfully Throws First Pitch at U.S. Major League Game
BTS member V successfully threw the ceremonial first pitch at a U.S. Major League Baseball (MLB) game.
On August 26 (KST), V took the mound at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles before the game between the LA Dodgers and the Cincinnati Reds. As he appeared wearing a Dodgers uniform, the stadium erupted in cheers. With BTS’s hit song MIC Drop blasting through the speakers, V delivered a bright smile and a stylish first pitch.
He then made a surprise reappearance on the mound, powerfully shouting the LA Dodgers’ signature catchphrase, “It’s time for Dodger baseball!”—a phrase made famous by legendary MLB broadcaster Vin Scully to mark the start of Dodgers games. V’s spirited delivery of the line electrified the entire stadium, sending the atmosphere into a frenzy.
