Francisca and Raúl González starred in a funny “accident” on ‘Despierta América’, Univision’s morning show in which they are both hosts. The Dominican presenter was testing her pitching skills, as she showed a few days ago when she was in charge of the first pitch in a Major League game between the Miami Marlins and the Los Angeles Dodgers.
A member of the production team threw the onion at Francisca and she caught it in one movement and threw it again towards where Raúl Gónzalez was, thinking that he would catch the onion, but it did not. “I’m thinking that you were going to catch him,” Francisca told González when apologizing to González, who was stunned by what had just happened.
“I didn’t see it at the time,” answered Raúl González amid much laughter, sitting next to Francisca and with the company of Alan Tacher.
Before that pitch that ended unexpectedly, Francisca very well showed her skills to throw the ball just like a Major League pitcher.
A few days ago Francisca showed on her Instagram account that she was invited, along with her husband Francesco Zampogna and their son Gennaro, to a Major League match in Miami. The Dominican wore a Miami Marlins shirt with her name on it, just as her son and her husband did.
“Today I had the honor of being invited to do the “first pitch” at the @marlins VS @dodgers game. Thank you @mlb! I cannot explain in words the happiness of doing it in front of my little boy @gennarozampogna and my beautiful husband @franczampogna (who by the way does not forgive me for putting the #14 on his shirt)”, he wrote to accompany a series of photos published on his Instagram account, from the Marlins stadium in Florida.
