Tweedy explained it all in a post he shared on Instagram on Wednesday, Aug. 6.
“Susie said that all she wanted for our anniversary this year was for me to complete my mission of throwing out a first pitch at every ballpark in the NL Central. I did it, honey! You’re welcome! Seriously though how lucky can one guy get?!? Here’s to the next 30! OxO ,” he wrote, adding, “(And thanks to the @pittsburghpirates).”
The caption accompanied a carousel of photos, including a sweet black-and-white photo of the young couple as well as a photo of the scoreboard at PNC Park, the home of the Pittsburgh Pirates, with the words, “THANK YOU SUSIE! 30 YEARS OF PUTTING UP WITH ME –JEFF TWEEDY.”
The carousel also included a photo of Tweedy sporting a Pirates uniform and cap along with the Pirates mascot and video of Tweedy’s pitch, which skipped once on the ground before reaching the catcher’s mitt.
