World Series: The Asian-American angle



Zelda and Cody Williams watch their brother Zak throw out the first pitch of Game 5 of the
2014 World Series in San Francisco at AT&T Park.

THE CHILDREN of the late Robin Williams threw out the first pitch of Game 5 of the 2014 World Series between the Kansas City Royals and the San Francisco Giants.

The comedian was a big Giants fan since he lived in the Bay Area and was often seen at the ball park with his good friend, fellow comedian Billy Crystal.

Williams second wife, Marsha Garces, was Filipino American, with whom he had two children, Zelda and Cody.

Crystal caught the ball thrown by Cody Williams while his brother and sister watched.

After Crystal caught the ball, he directed the fans' attention to the scoreboard where a video of Williams shouting out the iconic, "Pl-a-a-ay Ball!" to start the game.

The tribute ended with the final video images of Williams, chanting "Let's Go Giants!" while 
twirling an orange towel then hugging mascot Lou Seal.
